Emma,
I'd say the first thing to do is run iwconfig and see at what
interface your wireless card is being seen. I have noticed that it
changes from time to time when changing kernels, and even kernel
versions.
You may have to edit /etc/network/interfaces with the new name as
well, so that you
executed by itself scans all the interfaces looking for wireless
extentions and lists them.

Type the command "dmesg" and see what the kernel messages are when the
card is inserted. That should get us started on what's up (or not

Hi. Well, it worked under Knoppix, so I'm sure it's just me.
I've just finished wiping and reinstalling Sid on a Vaio PCG-GRT170,
which has worked before but got messed up with a Xwindows upgrade last
week. Everything has come back except sound. mpg123 and xmms just hang

In the README.debian, it states:

I have a Vaio PCG-GRT170 (no longer their absolute top of the line, but
darned close!) with an nVidia card in it.

This has also happened to me on a Vaio GRT170. I've been putting off
trying to fix it until I get X working on kernel 2.6, but I'll be

Hi. Since I jumped into the fray, I figure an update is appropriate.
I found that I did not install the alsa-modules package, just the alsa
applications. Installing these under 2.4.24, alsaconf sees the i810
card now, which is an improvement, but it still doesn't work.
What did start working is
ly bitchen fast when it does work.

I recommend you try Knoppix to see what it says about your harddrive.
It has excellent hardware detection, and will install on almost
anything x86 compatible.

vga=791 is also a text boot, but it's something like 50x130

more to see at once. Much better for trying to figure out when things
