Are you referring to the testing distribution or Debian in general? A

Vista preloaded, can't remember which. I had four calls the first week

willing to participate in finding the source of the problem. But i can't
figure it out on my own.


Well I would guess that the bcm43xx driver does not support the WLAN in 
your laptop. Best bet would be to install ndiswrapper which will allow 
you to use the Windows drivers for your card. It's a bit involved, 
you'll need ndiswrapper-common, ndiswrapper-modules and 
ndiswrapper-utils.. there's a HOWTO on the Debian Wiki[1]. You might 
need to stop the bcm43xx driver from loading in order to make this work, 
do this by putting blacklist bcm43xx in a file 
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist (which you might need to create). Good luck!

You can blacklist the 8139cp module in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file

blacklist 8139cp

and if you have 8139too in /etc/modules then the boot process should

 Is there a way to subscribe to a large set of bugs, without having to
 reply to multiple confirmation messages (one for each bug)?

I've hacked a procmail script which might help to autoreply the confirm

FORMAIL=/usr/bin/formail
SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail

I have wanted to do this for a while myself - just looked at the exim log
and it seems to work. Woo hoo! :)

 I have a minimal installation of Debian Etch (with xserver-xorg-core
 installed) that gives me an error message when I run the script -at the

 The message says,

I think you are missing the 'kbd' package which contains setfont and mapscrn
requested my your script: run apt-get install kbd.
