At boot, it bleats: "drm:radeon_pci_probe] *ERROR* radeon kernel
modesetting for R600 or later requires firmware-linux-nonfree" so I
installed it with "apt-get install ...", but it made no difference.
What else needs to be done?

did you reboot after installing the firmware?
It's possible that after FW installation problem won't appear again
(I hate this kind of problems too)
Also, the WiFi does not work on 5GHz; is there an update for that?
The 802.11b/g/n still doesn't see my 5GHz AP (but my obsolete MacBook
does).
I think that one requires firmware-atheros, did you install this one?
