Wireless problem: lspci did give following information for the wireless card. (Though it does not have the `Wireless' word in it) 04:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)
I watched the video on http://linuxtutorialvideos.blogspot.com/2009/01/ndiswrapper.html given by Pawan (without Audio however). I also think to install a driver if it is available properly for linux and use ndiswrapper as a last option. I am hopeful to get it as it works in Ubuntu fine. Audio problem: One thing to note: When I watched the video for ndiswrapper, Debian also started giving an awesome sound just like Ubuntu Ultimate. I realized that it was a kind of `infinite loop' sound, as it was changing everytime I toggled the Mute function. >Are you sure your sound is configured properly. It maybe mute by default >which you may have to change with appropriate settings in your mixer. >If laptop is too new, you may need to add a newer kernel which maybe >supporting your audio hardware. (I presume UE2.1 has a newer kernel which >supports your audio hardware). (sid has the latest 2.6.29 kernel which you >could use. Don't forget to remove it from your sources after installing the >kernel and headers ONLY). Gajendra, I could not understand the procedure asked by you. 1. How to check if it is mute by default? 2. After upgrading to a higher version kernel, even if it starts performing as in Ubuntu, it would be of no use as it gives that `infinite loop' kind of useless sound. By the way lspci for Audio gives following info. 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Contro ller (rev 03) On the net I found some people reporting the problem is not due to the card, rather due to the Altec Lancing speaker system, which I have on my laptop.
