Re: Squeeze: cannot connect to Netgear 150N DGN1000B

Sorry for replying to myself. I just installed the latest kernel from squeeze-backports (2.6.39) and wireless works fine now. Probably a bug in 2.6.32 from stable - kernel oopses shouldn't appear in any case. On 10/7/11 14:59 , Laurentiu Pancescu wrote: Hi there, my DSL modem died

Squeeze: cannot connect to Netgear 150N DGN1000B

2011-10-07 Thread Laurentiu Pancescu
Hi there, my DSL modem died today after 10 years of service, so I bought a Netgear 150N DGN1000B. I cannot connect to it via wireless from my netbook running Squeeze (Linksys WRT45GL works, but it doesn't have a DSL modem). I think the router is working, since I can connect to it very quickl

Thanks everyone for the tips. I restored the backup successfully (it's actually fast and easy when done properly - I spent more time thinking what the right order is than the actual restore itself). Looking back, the best way probably is to restore /etc and /home from backups after a minimal inst

Hello everyone, After a fresh (re)install of Lenny, I installed all cca. 800 previously installed packages (from a list file, via "xargs aptitude install") and then restored /etc from my rdiff-backup archive (containing just /etc, /home and lists of installed packages). It worked fine, but I e
