I see there are drivers at http://acx100.sourceforge.net/ but they are
not included in the kernel, so I think you're out of luck there.
Thank you for the heads up, but since my installation, I have used that
website immensely to get my wireless card working just fine.

But this only shows in the installer? Once you have a working
installation, it will recognize the keyboard just fine?
Actually, I have my computer set up as dual boot (with debian and windows)
with lilo. After I choose to run debian, I have to keep pushing a button
until it gets to the non-graphical login screen. Then I can type username
and password, and log in normally. If I let debian load without repeatedly
pushing a button, I can't use the keyboard at all.

I think this has been done in the meantime.
sounds good :-)
