You have 2 solutions: - use r1000 (a driver from realtek for this card) with kernel 2.6.18 in etch - just recompile a newer kernel or use one from backports.org (http://packages.debian.org/etch-backports/linux-image-2.6-686), which is version 2.6.22 In the two cases, you doesn't need to mix unstable/stable. I think going to lenny just for the kernel is not a good idea. > As for the RAID: I plan to use software RAID rather than use 'hardware' > RAID of the controller.
