what list to umail for this bug?
I have an acer aspire 5003 notebook I tried installing the debian firmware
distro on since it only has wifi communication capability for now. The
firmware disk acted like it didn't have any firmware drivers on it when it
got down to detecting the network. In reality I had a usb rt2780 wifi
adapter connected to that laptop.
When I used the debian firmware disk to install on the amd k8 athelon
tower I have the installation worked. Post-install though I couldn't
bring up the network at all. I'm using my tower now with talkingarch
installed on it since I was able to use netctl and wifi-menu on
talkingarch to bring the wifi network up and keep it working. I have done
rather extensive web searching and haven't found anything that quite
describes my experiences so far with debian and what to do post-install
since dmesg on the tower claimed the network link wasn't ready.
What debian list is this information most appropriate? In about a month I
expect I'll be moving into an environment where both ethernet and wifi
access will be no problem but I would like to be able to get debian up
with wifi on the notebook since I may at some future date take that one on
the road with me.
