Hi all
Im trying to get wireless working on my Dell running Debian EtchI have an Intel 3945
chipset wireless so have installed the ipw3945 firmware via the deb package
firmware-ipw3945.
But the daemon that is required and the file /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent and other
stuff is in the package hotplug so ....
