Okay, went ahead with this and now I'm a bit further along. Wicd netork manager will now start, though it shows 'no wireless networks found'. Also, when I look at the preferences dialogue, there is no entry for 'wireless interface'. Gnome network manager also shows no wireless interface. Also: tablet:/home/lajolla# iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. tablet:/home/lajolla# ifconfig wlan0 up wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device -- J -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
