apt question
Hi guys,
I am new in Debian. I have installed driver ipw345-modules and ipw3945d for my wifi card with dpkg -i. I am running Debian etch. But when I do apt-get dist-uprgade and switch to another kernel this packages are not there and I hace to dwonload them again but for the new kernel. Is ther a way to tell on apt to upgrade these packages too with the system. |
Did you try installing them using apt instead of dpkg? aptitude install ipw3945-modules-2.6-686 ipw3945d (note that the modules one I listed is for a 2.6-686 kernel, you'll have to install a different one if you're using a different kernel).

No I didn't
I have internet only via my wifi card. My lan card is not configured. And if I don't have wifi apt not work |
I would recommend that you install a specific kernel via the working wi-fi, like linux-image-2.6.18-4-686 and install that separately, so that it's not updated by apt even if you do a dist-upgrade. Then install the wi-fi drivers for that kernel via dpkg. After that, you shouldn't have to reinstall them at all. But you also won't get any kernel updates unless you specifically perform them.
