Do you have pcmcia-modules or kernel-pcmcia-modules installed? The latter seems to be "preferred", and is what I initially had installed. The former, however, includes a working version of orinoco.o. You can only have one or the other installed. $ apt-cache policy pcmcia-modules $ apt-cache policy kernel-pcmcia-modules > I am somewhat new to Debian and do not know how to *gracefully* fix this > (e.g. using Debian packages to go forward or backward in versions).

And I haven't seen a response yet to my bugreport, nearly two months later. As for prevention, that's more difficult. My plan is to hold my kernel at its current version unless there's a problem that I know needs to be patched. -- Michael A. Marsh http://www.umiacs.umd.edu/~mmarsh http://mamarsh.blogspot.com
