idepci to vanilla
Hi, I've installed debian stable on an old laptop, a toshiba 320CDS. There's no ethernet plug on it, so I got a USB network adapter. I couldn't find any usb drivers.. Turns out I hit enter at the beginning without reading enough and installed idepci.
apt-cache dump | grep kernel gives no indication of kernel-image's. I'm in a catch-22 situation - I have no net to download usb drivers and I need usb drivers for the network to get a new kernel-image.
Here are my questions:
(most general): What's the easiest way to get USB to work on an idepci install? What's the best way? (that won't break the system etc)
(more specfic:) How do I install vanilla on an idepci? (preferably without reinstalling)
(not really related, but curious aboutit anyhow:)
How do I find out what debian stable cd any arbitrary package I find at the debian packages web site is on?
Thanks,
-Andrew Roth
