Ah! So this is a confict with compat-drivers. You'll need to remove
that.

Dear Ben,
Thanks. That works, but it isn't pretty. In addition to an Intel NIC,
I have a wireless card in my system, which uses the ath9k module. ath9k
uses compat.
ath9k is also in Debian kernel packages, but perhaps the version we
provide doesn't support your particular chip. But we should be able to
fix that.
(I'm afraid that I don't know with the compat module does.
Firmware related?)
It's part of compat-drivers, which you have installed separately.
It includes various functions and other features that the base kernel
doesn't - like the i2c_algo_bit structure. Except that the base kernel
does now provide i2c_algo_bit!
From "lsmod | grep compat".
compat 13461 5
cfg80211,mac80211,ath9k_hw,ath9k_common,ath9k
Unfortunately, the ath9k is loaded so early in the boot process that it
is in intramfs. So, I had to blacklist the ath9k, etc., and then
regenerate the intramfs. Luckily, I only use wireless/ath9k
occasionally for testing a DIY router, so I can, more or less, do
without it.
Since it would be better if one didn't have to choose between using the
wireless card or graphics, it still looks like something funny is going on.
Sure, but this isn't our bug.
Ben.
