I got the Xircom working finally. Had to put the right lines in /etc/modules.conf. I should email the people who told me they couldn't get them to work ...
And I kept typing 'mg' when I wanted to edit something, so I found 'ng' on Debian's packages page through google. I downloaded the source and built it, (I tried at least 3 other microemacs that were apparently too old, because they didn't build) and threw it in /usr/local/bin/mg. Nice, except that the backspace key gives me "a b c: " in the bottom line, and pressing the delete key, causes the cursor to jump to the beginning of paragraphs and print a '3~'. At least I still have ^d. ^h behaves like the backspace key. It's specific to ng, emacs doesn't do that. Any clues? Anyone hack ng before? I also added the line /bin/dmesg > /var/run/dmesg.boot to /etc/conf.d/local.start. All the fiddling with the Xircom filled the buffer.
