A few weeks ago I asked for help concerning difficulties with the wireless connection of a Dell Inspiron 700m. At the time I had to squeeze Debian in 10 Gb of hard disk and 512 Mb of memory.
I've just upgraded the HD to 160 GB and memory to 2 GB. This allowed me to install a full desktop envinronment. Wifi, configured with Gnome's Network Manager, is now working like a charm. Thanks to all for your help! Gustavo J.
