Dear Barak,   should uname -r after reboot show:   2.6.18-4-amd64? thats what i get.                                                               Also iwconfig gives: 
localhost:~# iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.
Also lspci gives:
05:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-PCI Card (rev 01)
08:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX (rev 02)
the install went ok, i think. Any ideas?

                          Sincerely,
                         Cavan

That "echo" command is just to add the given text to the end of the
file.  You can do it with a text editor instead, or in synaptic menu
Settings -> Repositories -> Add.

After it is added, you can use some other package installation thing,
like synaptic, to find & install the package linux-image-amd64 from
the etch-backports repository.  In synaptic, once you find the
package, if you look in the Versions tab you'll see that there are
multiple versions available.  It will default to the version in
"stable" so you need to force the version.  When you view the
available version in synaptic, it should give you a little blurb
telling you how to force a non-default version.

Enjoy,
