Looks good to me. I hadn't realized Etch included them. Though the
ieee80211 stack isn't at 2.6.18-4 yet... only at 2.6.17-2
No big deal I guess. though, I do see them in in the Debian 2.6.20
kernel be default. And I just looked, are also in the 2.6.18-4 kernels.
Now, he needs to DL the firmware and extract them into /lib/firmware/
reboot and he should be good, as long as he has wireless-tools
installed.
Then it is just a matter of getting all the info in the proper place.
