The Intel wireless card should work fine if it's the 2200 or 3945
model. I personally use the 3945 model under AMD64 Debian.
=====
Yes, it is the 3945. Did you have to use the Intel driver, or did it
come already in the stock kernel?
=====
In order
to use the Intel wireless and Nvidia non-free drivers you'll need to
add the non-free sections in apt. There are Debian instructions for
using the Nvidia drivers as well.
=====
Yes, I have a Nvidia card in my present machine, I've been compiling
them for myself in Sid for years. The problem is that when I run the
Nvidia driver in Etch the screen goes blank and the machine locks up
completely.
I think I will try getting/compiling the latest module from Nvidia
themselves, to see if there is any difference. The card is
specifically listed as compatible, this "hang the machine" behavior
is quite strange.
=====
The free nv driver if I recall correctly does not have 3d
acceleration support.
=====
Agreed, it does not.
