testing is VERY VERY incomplete for amd64 right now, since everything in
unstable got rebuilt from scratch and is now moving in to testing when
they can. testing has NOT been rebuilt from scratch since that is not
how the buildds normally do things. libc6 has been holding back
probably the majority of stuff from testing so far, but hopefully that
will clear soon.

Actually it is lookking pretty good already. It has actually gone
rather quick to get rid of the worst bugs in the packaging. Given it
went to entirely modular, I am impressed.

Those would be the versions to use for that chipset. Anything older
won't work as far as I know.
