Install 'discover' and 'hotplug' and that should take care of most of your problems. Those are hardware discovery programs. They will map the hardware found to the current device drivers. Very nice. If you have the 2.6 kernel installed then install 'udev' too since it makes for a nice /dev management.
I rebooted into the old 2.2 kernel, and installed these from the sarge distro.
After the reboot into sarge, everything worked, without my having to lift a finger. Great!
I guess my only wonderment is why these utilities aren't installed by default.
Oh well... once they were installed, they did the trick. Thanks to all who replied.
