Maybe it was the usb-bluetooth adaptor? I don't know, and it's clear I'm no
expert at all.
The WiFi hardware on my machine should be Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG, but it is
probably dead, because installing firmware-ipw2x00 had no effect. But I have
some other WiFi hardware, that I bought yesterday and that's detected - so it
seems - on wlan0 after installing firmware-realtek: it is a wireless-USB
adaptor, the TL-WN725N. I've been googling to search a proper driver for it,
but the matter looks to be hard issue. I also found:

. Any hint/help appreciated.
Thanks,
Rodolfo
