Do you mean you have KDE in Etch AMD64?
Yes, even sarge-amd64 has kde and gnome and a few others.

How do I find and use module assistant?
m-a is a standard debian package, just "apt-get install module-assistant"
should get it for you, or select it with aptitude, dselect, syaptic or
adept.
Once it's installed "m-a prepare" will setup your box with all the stuff
you
need to compile kernels then "m-a a-i madwifi" will get the madwifi source
and build and install the madwifi module. You may need a different driver
for
your card.
That should keep you out of trouble for a while.. ;) Hollar if you need
help.. :)
Thanks very much for your help, Alan. I do not have experience working with
the module-assistant, so I had a look at it and got lost very soon. I
followed the traditional "make", "make install" path for my tarball and was
able to install my module and make my nic work. Your help was appreciated.
Teilhard.
