Hello Thomas, This is what I have done: * Search for a Debian package with newst kernel for Wheezy This is what I would do: * On a (friends) computers with access to Internet * Go to https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/amd64/linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64/download * Download the linux dot deb * Put it on a USB storage device * Take the USB storage device to the computer with the "new" NIC * Open a "terminal", so have the CLI, Command Line Interface * Be come "root", examples given, `sudo -i`, `su -` * change directory to where the linux dot deb is * execute the command `dpkg -i linux*.deb` * see how the new kernel gets installed * reboot the computer * the bootloader will shortly show a menu which kernel to use. (most likely became the new kernel the default) * Report the milage at debian-boot mailinglist Groeten Geert Stappers Subscribed to the debian-boot ML -- Leven en laten leven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
