How about: An Ethernet driver for the IXP4xx platform (e.g. Linksys NSLU2) has recently been integrated into the mainline kernel, so the Debian kernel in lenny uses this driver rather than the unofficial driver which the previous release of Debian used. The proprietary IXP4xx microcode needed to use the in-built Ethernet is now available in the package ixp4xx-microcode in non-free. Installer images for Debian which include this microcode will continue to be made available from slug-firmware.net. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
