You are required to add the Debian Backports repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list file prior to this command. See [1] for instructions, which was linked from this procedure. > but the above command failed. from they way i understand it, it's > trying to install backported version of wireless tools.. If you received an error, it would have been helpful to include that here. There is no backported wireless-tools package available in lenny-backports. Amend your /etc/apt/sources.list file, run "aptitude update", install the backported linux-image-* package (using your earlier command) and restart your system into the 2.6.32 kernel.
