Aha! failed to load firmware! That may be your problem. You should
always follow up on such messages. Do you have package firmware-linux-nonfree
installed? If so, you need to install it. It is in the non-free section
of the Debian archive; so make sure that the "non-free" and "contrib"
sections of the archive are present in your /etc/apt/sources.list file.
