I am sorry that I'm not going to be any help - but I'd like to comment
that I almost always use synaptic for installs and updates.  One time
when I used aptitude it messed up the dependencies and left my computer
broken.  That happened once with apt as well.

 

I seem to recall that I fixed it by switching back to synaptic, but I'm
getting old and my memory may be wrong there ;-)

 

Plus, you've tried to manually install drivers, so synaptic probably
won't help.

 

Sorry!  Good luck!

 

Rusty

Subject: After update/upgrade in Debian Testing, my NIC stopped Working

 

 

I am running Debian testing (amd64) and after running an aptitude
update/upgrade my wired network stopped working. I get a cable unplugged
message. The cable is OK and the router is OK and the link pulses are
there. My wireless is still working.
