Okay, now it's hosed again. When I boot up and do 'modprobe -v wl', I get no 'rmmod' lines, as above, it's totally different: tablet:/home/lajolla# modprobe -v wl WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-kernel-nkc, it will be ignored in a future release. insmod /lib/modules/2.6.26-2-686/kernel/net/ieee80211/ieee80211_crypt.ko install /sbin/modprobe -qr b43 ssb; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install wl WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-kernel-nkc, it will be ignored in a future release. insmod /lib/modules/2.6.26-2-686/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/wl.ko And, of course, I get no wireless :-( Help! -- J -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
