I had to rearrange some things to get the laptop connected (borrow pccard,
register it on the net etc), but last night I built -current kernel and
installed it.

The separate installing failed (is this method for the old or new kernel?),
but at first sight, everything seems to start working indeed.  

So thank you very much :-)
