Thanks for the tip. For those following, it's http://wiki.debian.org/DebianKernel.
According to the upstream (intel wifi) bug, 2.6.25 rc5 has the fix; rc3 didn't. rc5 is what's current from DebianKernel. I have mixed feelings about using the bleeding edge; I notice some kernels have been held out of testing for quite awhile, apparently because of significant problems. I don't quite know how the packaging works, but I assume http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ and other docs referenced on the wiki page explain it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
