Well that still works in that I have a running system, but the wifi doesn't work. The firmware is not for the wifi card as I previously thought, it's for the ethernet card. Oh, when starting using the 3.2 kernel and the realtek firmware, the light on the wifi button on the keyboard was flashing like crazy. At least there are signs of life from that when I use 3.2. Shame the rest of the computer won't play along! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
