I just upgraded my son's laptop. It uses the ipw2x00 firmware for his
wireless card. The upgrade did not change that. I followed the release
notes for the most part. Specifically:
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade (on Lenny)
change sources to squeeze and replaced debian-volatile with squeeze-updates
removed the backports repo
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade (on Squeeze repos)
apt-get install linux-image-2.6-686
apt-get install udev
reboot
apt-get dist-upgrade (on Squeeze repos)
During that dist-upgrade, the wireless card stopped working. It was
fixed with a reboot. I suspect, but am not sure, that I could have
fixed it by restarting network-manager.
Thank you, Rob. This is very very helpful. In step 2, you not only changed "lenny" to "squeeze" but also "debian-volatile" to "squeeze-updates" in the following lines? Or did you do something else? Sorry for the extra question, this is not documented in Release Notes.
deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main
deb-src http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main
Thank you,
Mark
