Following the same procedure for 2.4.18 as outlined
above for 2.4.17 seemed to fix things. I still don't
understand why 2.4.17 got a little messed up.
Linuxlogo didn't install properly due to bug #137007 ,
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=137007&repeatmerged=yes
After following advice filed w/ bug, linuxlogo and
several other packages all installed just fine. Apm
and pcmcia nic are working as expected in 2.4.18 . I
know things are occasionally broken in sid, but the
kernel package? But I don't even know at this point,
that I shold point fingers at the kernel package. If
anyone has any clues, please share them. BTW, is the
af_packet module really needed for a xircom pcmcia
nic? I think I may have installed it at some time
before when I really wanted the yenta module. I had a
glance at the source of both, and have only a very
vague notion of what they do.
