On a fresh Lenny install I finally made my wireless work (it's a BCM4328
chip on a HP Compaq 6715b laptop) according to
http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=30648&postdays=0&postorder=asc&;
sta rt=0&sid=2782df86cc404fde6d75b631594c3053 As soon as internet
connection was available (I have no wired access at all) Lenny proposed
to download a bunch of updates. I allowed it to do that. It was several
(tens of) megabytes of stuff. Some time after that I rebooted the
machine only to find wireless wasn't working anymore. Not under the
2.6.26-1, not under the newly installed 2.6.26-2 kernel. I followed the
above instructions for the new kernel too and compiled the wireless
driver - to no avail. Now I have no connectivity under any of the
kernels. Does anybody have a clue as to which of the updates might be
responsible for that? And will there be a new update available any time
soon which will fix that?
The funny thing is, iwconfig and iwlist commands can "see" my router,
but there is still no connection to the internet or to other machines on
my LAN, and the System/Settings/Network applet states it "doesn't
recognize my system" and then offers me a list of distros to choose
from. I select Debian Lenny, but that doesn't change anything: I still
can't browse the internet or LAN or check for updates.
What gives?

Oops, my bad... After some more rmmodding and insmodding and modprobbing
of the wl, ssb and ieee80211_tckip modules and finallly depmodding -a,
the thingy started working again... at least till next update...
Fingers crossed... ;)
is the same laptop overheated some days ago? How did you solve your
problem?

It sure is. You can find my tale of woe some posts under, posted saturday,
under the heading [Solved... sort of] Lenny overheating. But you may find my
post overly hi-tech. Basically, I put the laptop in the coldest spot in the
house and kept fingers crossed. ;)
