My on-board ethernet chip is not working in Debian Squeeze. I have installed a PCI card that is working, but I would like to have the (better) on board chip working.
I have used it from the Linux Format remastered Ubuntu 12.04 live CD, so there is obviously a Linux driver for it. I have Googled and found only references to how well it works in Linux. I also found references to its being free and in the kernel. I cannot find a driver. I have installed 3.2.0 from Squeeze Backports without success. (That is to say, the upgraded kernel has not helped the situation. It installed without a hitch.) I have done a cold reboot. The video works without any problems and I have not so far done anything about the complaints that both Amarok and Kaffeine make about the lack of driver for sound, since I have not yet trouble-shot alsa. For me, sound is a pleasant addition, not a necessary adjunct. I must be missing something very simple, possibly in my Google-foo. At anyrate, PEBKAC probably looms large. Any suggestions as to what else I could try? Thank you. Lisi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
