http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2009/06/msg00439.htmlOkay, went ahead with this and now I'm a bit further along. Wicd netork manager
will now start, though it shows 'no wireless networks found'. Also, when I look
at the preferences dialogue, there is no entry for 'wireless interface'.
Gnome network manager also shows no wireless interface.
Also:
tablet:/home/lajolla# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
tablet:/home/lajolla# ifconfig wlan0 up
wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
