Hi everyone,

I think I've just commited a mistake here. My wireless driver in my laptop is iwl3945, which is not available by default in a fresh lenny install.. But without it I can't connect to the net to install it.. Anyone know any workarounds?? Can I download the package from another computer and transfer it to my laptop?

Thanks,
RJB

Yes, you need the firmware-iwlwifi package:
