Setup (of wireless) sections

These sections are confusing, because it's not clear which parts always apply, and which parts are alternatives. I think the following is what is intended. If so, I'll re-format it to make it clear. There are two main alternatives: 1. kernel.org / mac80211 ... or 2. ?MadWifi If I choose ?MadWifi, then I can do it in any of three different ways: 2a. non-free driver 2b. via module assistant 2c. from source Having chosen and performed either 1 or 2 (and the relevant 2a/b/c) then I should go on and do: 3 WiFi LED

Linux Image Version

Hi, I wonder if someone could put info about using linux-image 486 or 686 for this laptop.

BIOS

Some info on how to update the BIOS from Debian could be helpful.

Community

Is there a mailing list or forum for Debian Users of this netbook?

Net Install

I actually had a problem trying to install from a USB drive. The installer would not recognize the HDD with the USB Drive package loaded. The kernel messages reported it and I could mount it from a console, but for some reason the installer just didn't want to use it as the target. I followed the instructions from the install manual on booting from the network and the install went beautifully! The system does PXE Booting, so follow the instructions for that.

Suspend to Ram

To fix an issue with resuming from ram requiring You to press a key once to resume,then again(when using the suggested lid.sh command),I added a line to lid.sh to detect the lid state,and exit if it is open.This problem I believe is caused by the lid button reporting two events,one for close, another for open(may be a better way around this,but it works for me). the following is the contents of my lid.sh:

#!/bin/sh

grep -q open /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state && exit 0
