| Both should work, as neither are (at least should not be) too new for the kernel in our last release, but in the worst case you can provide an updated kernel via USB stick (or other means of storage) from http://aptosid.com/debian/pool/main/l/linux-aptosid/. firmware-atheros is not needed for your device, firmware-realtek might be (for the wired interface); of course this only applies after you've installed to HDD. |

Just to be clear, the hardware you're mentioning is pretty standard (and not too new) hardware which should be well supported (including our last release), without many needs for non-free firmware (only the ethernet card might, but doesn't necessarily - only some RealTek ethernet cards use external firmware in the first place and for many of those which do, the firmware tends to be semi-optional, fixing bugs in the original in-chip firmware (like line training), thereby only improving compatibility). Updating to a newer kernel might improve the chances for getting it to work, but it shouldn't be necessary for these particular devices.
It would also be interesting if the network cards are detected on a lower level, e.g. "ip a" and "/sbin/iw list". |

Hi slh,
/sbin/iw list
doesn't output anything
and
Code:
ip a
1: lo: <LOOPBACK> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN
link loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 ::1/128 scope host
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
How do I get the new kernel installed (never did that manually)? |

I think you can just copy the .deb file of the kernel image (and headers?) and install by
Code:
dpkg -i <deb>

No, I am getting
error processing linux-image-aptosid-686 3.19.1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration ...
When tryin linux-image-3.19.0-0.slh.1-aptosid*.deb
I am getting installing linux-image-3.19.0-0.slh.1-aptosid...
would break initramfs-tools, and deconfiguration is not permitted (--auto-deconfigure might help)
And no, --auto-deconfigure didn't help |

| Ok after trying almost anything I could think of I found out that there is a switch to turn on and off WIFI which doesn work at all - at least the LED indicator for WLAN will not light... Tomorrow I will return the Laptop to the shop. |

| There are a bunch of ways those switches can be setup. rfkill might help. Using the brand (and maybe model) of the laptop for searching about wifi and linux would have a good chance of finding a way to get the switch working or disable it. |

| Thanks bfree. I will give it a try. Actually I am not too much into hardware since 1984-1991. Never thought that there COULd actually be a switch for disabling Network. But when it comes to thinking of Mr. Snowden it seems to make sense...(-; |

You will need http://aptosid.com/debian/pool/fix.main/i/initramfs-tools/ as well.
rfkill shouldn't play a role at that point yet, but it is strange that none of the interfaces shows up - which could point at an issue with PCI probing or generic device enumeration (e.g. BIOS problems), something the newer kernel might alleviate, even though our last release kernel should support them. |

I am neither able to install a newer kernel (as stated above) and initramfs-tools have a dependency problem as well.
I am getting "udev not configured" |

Edit: it is not the hardware switch. Cause it would turn off Bluetooth as well and bluetooth is working. |
