Following on from that. My laptop (Acer 3810TZ) has two network connections:
- Intel Wifi Link 1000
- And R8131_AR8132" from the "Atheros AR81Family Windows Driver
x86/x64(Win7,Vista, XP, Server 2003)" category.
Neither of these were in the boot image that I downloaded from unetbootin.
(total iso ~ 150mb)
I presume there are three options
- Add the testing boot.img.gz and hope that the drivers are in there
(using the instructions from debian-administration.org: thanks for
that)
- Download a CD image of debian testing and install that, hoping that
the relevant drivers are on that

- Add the Atheros linux driver http://partner.atheros.com/Drivers.aspx and if so
how
Can anyone make any suggestions?
