It's also perplexing in that (if I have this right) you did a successful install with a beta version of the Squeeze installer! Looking at the logs in a console may give a clue; dmesg or /var/log/syslog. The lsmod commmand should confirm the drivers are loaded but you could try using modprobe to remove and reinsert them before retrying a detection and reconfiguration of the network. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
