I already had http://backports.org in my sources.list so that wasn't too difficult ;-) > As for your problem, I think you might have to upgrade to kernel > 2.6.24. Here is a part taken from kernelnewbies.org: Yes, you were right. I got a 2.6.24 kernel image from unstable (no problems with the depenencies) and it seems I'm running the new stack. When I find the time I will try WPA with it. regards Thorsten -- http://www.tgunkel.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
