This laptop is operating with Debian 4 „etch“, Kernel version 2.6.18-4-686
Basic Installation of Debian etch:
Using Netinst – installation, Gnome
Checking „Desktop“ and „Laptop“ (or „Notebook“) for installation
Installation of Gnome Network-Manager-Applet
Editing the file /etc/network/interfaces to ensure that the NetworkManager works correct. Delete (or comment) all lines except the ones concerning "lo"
#gedit /etc/network/interfaces/
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
Wifi:
MadWifi (http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/Distro/Debian/MadWifi). Here is an official madwifi package in the non-free section of the Debian archive. Add non-free section in your /etc/apt/sources.list file, that would allow you to use apt to get madwifi.
sources.list:
# Stable
deb ftp://ftp.au.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb-src ftp://ftp.au.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
Installation (with module-assistant): The preferred method of installing madwifi-modules uses the module-assistant (m-a) tool to automate all of the following steps: preparing the kernel source/headers, unpacking the module tarball, compiling, building a binary-modules debian package, installing and cleaning up.
$ su
# apt-get update
# apt-get install madwifi-source
# apt-get install madwifi-tools
# m-a prepare
# m-a a-i madwifi
See /usr/share/doc/madwifi-source/README.Debian for extra details. The module-assistant documentation may also be of value (man m-a).
Sound internal Loudspeakers (ALSA):
Standard-Configuration with Debian 4.0 Installer (Desktop, Notebook) and (if wanted) "configure-debian".
The "problem" is to find out the option for the installed card in the AmiloPro.
Edit the file /etc/modprobe.d/sound and add "model=3stack"
e.g.
options snd-hda-intel model=3stack
