I was WRONG. As soon as I rebooted and attempted to connect to my wireless network the system hangs. 1. I've purged firmware-iwlwifi firmware-linux-nonfree from the system. 2. Rebooted. 3. With the system online I've installed firmware-iwlwifi. 4. Unplugged the network cable and enables the wireles interface. It connected. 5. Rebooted again. 6. The system freezes.
This is an HP laptop 6930p with this wireless card: Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 5100 AGN [Shiloh] Network Connectio It is a Debian AMD64 squeeze system with a 2.6.32-5-amd64 kernel. It was working fine a couple of weeks ago. I have installed the stable firmware-iwlwifi and it does not hangs but the card refuses to up. I suspect that the new kernel broke it when I upgraded it, from the dpkg log: 2010-11-02 19:16:31 upgrade linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 2.6.32-26 2.6.32-27 When I look for the old kernel in the /boot directory I can't find it. Only the new one. How can I downgrade a kernel in this cases? Thank you Andres Migliazzo
