I have no idea how the OP installed their system, whether they did it through wifi, and which ISO they used. (Nor what "the /same/ problems" are in the Subject line). Even if the original installation was done with wifi, the fate that befalls the wifi configuration depends on the choices made in the task selector. My beef has always been that choosing a non-DE installation, as I do, results in the wifi configuration being removed moments before the d-i reboots. Cheers, David.

quot;testing" might continue to stick with that, others might decide that all their hardware is now working well, and switch to "bookworm" (the most stability), or they might follow the trailing edge of future Debian development with "stable". And the same applies across the range of distributions, except sid (and experimental, not a distribution anyway). How would your automated system decide which changes to make and when? How would it cope with the sort of major upgrade changes made during the lenny/squeeze transition (the paired kernel/udev conundrum). Cheers, David.
