Booted the lappy and my /etc/apt/sources.list contains: deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib deb-src http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org testing main non-free ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- apt-cache policy firmware-linux-nonfree N: Unable to locate package firmware-linux-nonfree ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- aptitude search firmware p dns323-firmware-tools - build and manipulate firmware images for the DNS-323 p expeyes-firmware-dev - hardware & software framework for developing science experi i firmware-linux-free - Binary firmware for various drivers in the Linux kernel i firmware-ralink - Binary firmware for Ralink wireless cards p grub-firmware-qemu - GRUB firmware image for QEMU I must be missing something somewhere. But I have wireless through the usb dongle and the firmware-ralink - Binary firmware for Ralink wireless cards So I'm not worried at all Chris.
