I had the same experience with a TD-Link WN510G. I'd never used
module-assistant before, but it worked as smoothly as can be. The

recompile would have been.
module-assistant is a debian package. Once installed, its executables
take care of the grunt work of compiling the module and making it
properly usable by the kernel.
I had no idea this could be this easy.

Hello debian-users,
Here's something I'm thinking, and I'm wondering if others may disagree.
I've been trying out udf with Debian Lenny, and I've concluded that udf

Suppose you want to add something like "vga=791" to the linux line of
one of the stanzas auto-configured by update-grub.
What is the debian way to do this?

ave a regular US keyboard with no dead keys, but
using menu as the Multi_key, I can produce most of the accented
characters, including the c cedilla.
This works because the compose-key settings (Multi_key) are regulate
in X by
/usr/share/X11/locale/iso8859-15/Compose
And the "compose:menu" setting in /etc/X11/xorg.conf designates the
Multi_key, which is the compose key in X.
