Dear Maintainer,
On wheezy, looking in /etc/network/if-up.d/ethtool, I read:

Some updates on this topic. The solution that I proposed was bad then, and is
now worse:
- it assumed that all CF cards report the same "CF Card" string, which is not

- it doesn't work on Wheezy - apparently, KDE no longer uses hal.
New proposed solution:

Ough, that's an old one.
Just tested, problem no longer present in current Lenny - inputting
international symbols in dpkg-reconfigure through ncurses seems OK (edit works
- I didn't try saving).
I no longer have a Sarge machine handy, but it wouldn't matter anyway.
Please close.

Hi Sven,
