Thanks for the answer, Tom. The driver is free and is in the kernel, just not in the kernel which comes with Squeeze. I need the kernel in squeeze backports, 3.2.0-0.bpo.3-amd64, which I know works fine. Since it is free, it is not going to be in non-free repositories. For the record, the driver/module I need is atl1c. But I can't find it separately to have available during the installation. I know that someone posted recently how to install a backports kernel during installation, which would solve my problem, but I can't find it. But instructions on how to have atl1c available, would be equally welcome. Lisi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
