Currently, I am getting: $ wajig install linux-headers-2.6.24-1-686 [...] The following packages have unmet dependencies: linux-headers-2.6.24-1-686: Depends: linux-kbuild-2.6.24 but it is not installable E: Broken packages So I'll wait a few days, when this gets resolved and try it then.

Yes, it's probably not a serious problem, but still it's imho a bug. > > install 2.6.24 from unstable should have newer version? > > and see how it works.. > > That's actually a different driver (rt73usb), which is also available > for 2.6.22 and 2.6.23 through the rt2x00-source package. There is no rt73.ko in the 2.6.24 as far as I know. BTW, I just noticed that upstream removed my attachement with detailed logs of the problem from my bug report. I am very disappointed, as it cost me some time to generate the debug logs properly. Ondrej -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
