I ran the update and upgrade, and then a dist upgrade... nothing made much difference as far as getting the wireless card to work. I think now I had sarge all along, and had upgraded from kernel 2.4 to 2.6 somewhere along the way. So I just thought -- start over. Reloaded everything from a CD "sarge-i386-netinst.iso (beta 4)". The base system works OK, but I lost all the x-window and KDE stuff. Tried again, using the "testing (beta 3)" CD that I had originally used to set up three Debian boxes, where all the pretty stuff worked right away. Now it isn't there. Maybe the installer and the current package use different names now? And I now know that the wireless card (Netgear WG511) is good: works OK with Windows on the same laptop.
