kernels on Lenny.<br>o Add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list:<br><span> deb <a target="_blank" href="http://backports.undebian.org/repositories/backports-kernel/">http://backports.undebian.org/repositories/backports-kernel/</a> ./ </span><br><span> Add the key: wget -q -O - <a target="_blank" href="http://backports.undebian.org/repositories/backports-kernel/archive-key.asc">http://backports.undebian.org/repositories/backports-kernel/archive-key.asc</a> | apt-key add - </span><br>=>The last time I tried, eeePC didn't want to access this repo, even the wget fails. My 2.6.29 kernel comes from regular lenny repo.<br><br> * The newer kernels require a new acpid (1.0.8-7 or later) and new eeepc-acpi-scripts (1.1.0-1 or later) from Sid.<br>=>I've got acpid 1.0.10 and eeepc-acpi-scripts 1.1.1 so it shoub be OK.<br><br> * If you formerly used madwifi and are therefore switching to ath5k, remove
madwifi-tools, as it blacklists ath5k.<br>=>Synaptic claims that madwifi-tools is not installed so it should be OK.<br><br> * The interface name in ath5k is now wlan0, so any config files referencing ath0 need to be changed (e.g. /etc/network/interfaces). Please do not simply add the wlan0 lines and let ath0 remain there, this could give problems. Just rename :D<br>=>OK, ath0 renammed in wlan0 in /etc/network/interfaces<br> <br> * All relevant ethernet chipsets are now supported by the kernel, (except atl1c -- see ../../Model/1005HA for details,) so atl2 users don't need a separate module package anymore.<br>=>Is there some package to remove?<br> <br> * You should remove /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules if it exists.<br>=>renammed it in .old<br><br>=>then reboot, nothing change<br><br>In wicd, there is in Advanced Settings WPA Supplicant
with a combo on Driver that can be set to wext or atmel or ralink_legacy, I've tried all but it changed nothing, which one has to be set?<br><br>I'm living tomorow for one week, so don't be surprise if I don't reply until then, but I will report any advice that could help me.<br><br>Regards<br>Fabien<br><div style="font-family: verdana,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;"><font face="Tahoma" size="2"><hr size="1"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">De :</span></b> Ben Armstrong <synrg@sanctuary.nslug.ns.ca><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">À :</span></b> Fabien <pogzy@yahoo.com><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cc :</span></b> debian-eeepc-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org<br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Envoyé le :</span></b> Jeudi, 13 Août 2009, 11h14mn 36s<br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Objet :</span></b> Re: [Debian-eeepc-devel] Should I reinstall from scratch?<br></font><br>On Thu, 13 Aug 2009 00:27:01
