1. My WiFi didn't work because I had no firmware package installed. It was quite a surprise, since

kdenetworkmanager-trinity instead. Works prefectly, at least so far.

This is a "feature" of new installations of Debian from Squeeze onwards. Is this perhaps where this problem arose?

I realise that you know much more than I do in general, so I am only offering this tentatively.

3. In relation to discussion in another thread - I was able to import my emails without problems.

I think that I am the only person ever to have any problems, let alone an intractable one. I had the same problem when I tired to switch to Squeeze and Trinity last year, so went back to Lenny. I can only assume that there is something in my data that is causing this problem.
