Hi Tom! Well, I tried another approach: I installed Debian Lenny. It did the trick. It seems to me that there's something related to the kernel (or maybe this recent kernel and my hardware).
By the way, I have little time to spend on my O2, so I'm happy with it! 2011/2/19 Tom@gmail <[email protected]> > > > > Hi all! > > > > I'm Manuel Molina.
