Thanks. This reassures me.

As you can imagine, I have a few other issues.

My next concern are the error messages that keep displaying every 3
minutes or so, if I am on a console (that doesn't show when I am under
Gnome Xterm). It is matter of a firmware that cannot be installed, most
likely a WiFi card driver :

"
firmware: requesting rt2561.bin
phy0 -> rt2x00lib_request_firmware: Error - Failed to request Fir
mware.
"

I found this in Google :

Google rt2x00 wiki

Rt2.00 drivers are part of the mainline kernel tree. this is true since
Jan 2008 with the 2.6.24 kernel... While the mainline kernel has the
driver tree, for several reasons, can only be pulled along with the full
kernel sources usint the git content tracker..... "

WiFi did operate on this machine on my late Debian Sarge system ; I
don't know what firmware operated, but I had no such errors. Since I
have higher priorities and that my PC is mostly connected through an
ethernet cable, I wish to disable that module for now. How should I
blacklist it of something of the kind ?   Is there a better thing to
do ?  In any case, these repeated attempts are troublesome, they even
interfere on my DSL modem/routeur box, which LED is almost constantly
blinking when this PC is up and running,
