H,, look this is beyond my current knowledge to answer.

In the attached gzipped archive you'll find:

debian-report $ ll
total 116K
-rw-r--r-- 1 raph raph  97K Feb 26 09:54 bookworm-syslog
-rw------- 1 raph raph 1.3K Feb 26 09:45 buster-dpkg-firmware.txt
-rw------- 1 raph raph 5.7K Feb 26 09:45 buster-lsmod.txt
-rw------- 1 raph raph  618 Feb 26 09:46 buster-sources.list

A few month ago, I tried to move this machine to testing. But like with
a previous debian install, when moving to testing the network stopped
working. I do not know if this is important / related or not.

Tell me I can do anything else to help.

This machine is ok with buster, but I can back it up and try a complete
install when/if needed to contribute.

Take care

Cheers,

raph
