The driver is called ipw3945. You won't find it with module assistant because it has not been debianised yet (as far as I can tell). You have to download the source from http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/ and follow the instructions to build the driver. (You don't need to worry about the ieee80211 subsystem, though; that is now included in the kernel.) > > >3) i've got snd_hda_intel loaded but can't seem to get any sound. have > > > alsa, will travel. Make sure you have "alsa-base" and "alsa-utils" installed. Run "alsaconf" as root; this should get you going.
