Squeeze 32 bit netinst installer problem
 
The installer recognizes my wifi device but in order to connect to wifi I have to be able to use iwconfig to tell it that it has to connect to channel 11. If I don't do that it doesn't connect. The amd64 installer lists wireless tools in the list of extra tools to load, but for some reason the 32 bit installer doesn't. However wireless_tools...udeb is on the disk. What command would I use to load it manually from a console?

Hi,

I've not directly installed a udeb before but I suspect it should work with dpkg as usual. Try:
Code:
dpkg -i /path/to/foo.udeb
Evo2.

I did try that but at that point dpkg hadn't been installed yet.

I found out how to do it. udpkg -i /cdrom/debian/pool/w/wireless_tools/wireless_tools...udeb

I don't understand why wireless tools isn't included in the list of alternative installer components. It is included in the amd64 installer but not the i386 installer.
