Ok, thank you. I am going to try. >> I would prefer to compile only my wireless network card driver >> statically into the kernel. > What exactly will that buy you though? Is it worth the effort? In fact probably no. I would like only to use the new iwl3945, because the one provided with 2.6.26 gives me lots of problem (*) and then I have to use compat-wirelss-old version. At the same time I would prefer not to put files outside my home without a corresponding deb package, to keep administration of the machine more simple. It's quite simple to forget these type of customization (like installing compat-wireless)... a package with the flag installed makes simpler to keep track on what exactly you have done with the laptop. Of course it's also a way learn more about Linux...
