I am trying to get a Sony USB DVD+R+RW drive working with an Albatron

I am struggling to get my wireless lan up and running using Actiontec
USB transmitters. To this end I changed all my sources from stable to
testing and ran apt-get -f install linux-wlan-ng. Now I am awash with

I have struggled with linux-wlan-ng, pcmcia-cs and instructions from
Actiontec tech support and from netmagenetworks.com with partial
success. That is ifconfig -a reports wlan0, /proc/bus/usb/drivers
includes prism2_usb and ifup wlan0 reports interface wlan0 already
configured. But something
I successfuly downloaded 93 JPEG files from a digital camera to the hard
drive. Not wishing to tie up this space permanently, I tried to burn
them to a cd with the command cdrecord -v dev=1,0,0 speed=8 -data
/h/dsc*.jpeg but it didn't work. cdrecord knows there are 93 files
(tracks?) but reco

drive. The gimp will load an image and print it perfectly. I see it
also has an option to create a thumbnail of an image. What I would like
is an album of thumbnails of all 93 images with the ability to click on
any one o

I have two boxes, one Woody with a 2.4.18 kernel and one Testing with a
2.4.20 kernel. The /etc/network/interfaces are identical except for the
static addresses. The Testing box signs on to the network at bootup,
the Woody box does not. Specifically, the interfaces file for the Woody
box is
Both computers have Netgear MA311 Wireless PCI cards. Perhaps there is a
difference in the bootup sequences, I'll print out the runlevel.conf
files and compare them.

I have read Security-Quickstart-HOWTO.
I believe my home network has been compromised (my daughter received
