Re: ssh maimed on testing update

Is it possible that you are using a dsa key? ;-) Use ssh with -v and take a look to the Output. Yes, that was the problem. I switched to rsa, which doesn't seem to me like it reduces paranoia, but I deal with systems that apparently don't understand ed25519.

Re: ALSA fail on wheezy.

The 'fw unknown' is bothersome. I'd take 'fw' to be 'firmware'. You're probably right; had I looked at dmesg, I would have seen that cs64xx had no firmware. The Debian Wiki is often very useful: http://wiki.debian.org/snd-cs46xx It was for me; it solved the problem. Thanks for your reply
