• Debian 6.0 Iso Download

I downloaded the Debian amd64 netinstall ISO and placed it on a USB stick using dd if=debianblahblah.iso of=/dev/sdb. The installer works fine, but my laptop requires proprietary wireless drivers. Generally if all devices work in GNU/Linux, you don't need any specific driver, except for the graphic card: because of licensing issues, the driver packaged by default is often the open-source one, which, in most situations, performs worst than the proprietary one.

: English - - Device Management Overview This page aims to give a rough overview of the various subsystems used in linux to manage devices. It will hopefully give you enough of the big picture to better understand the man pages and documentation for the specific subsystems. It won't tell you how to create devices or have scripts run when new devices are added. There is a hierarchy to the various systems. It looks something like this: • Kernel & Modules • sysfs • hotplug • udev • hal • /dev Kernel Kernel and kernel modules drive the devices. -sysfs Sysfs is a virtual file system provided by the 2.6 Linux kernel.

Sysfs exports information about devices and drivers from the kernel device model to userspace, and is also used for configuration. See Udev and hal use sysfs to do their work. --hotplug The kernel calls the /sbin/hotplug script when it sees new hardware passing several arguments.

The scripts load kernel modules and user scripts when new hardware is seen. ---udev New with the 2.6 kernel, udev automates the creation and removal of devices in /dev. Udev replaces the devfs of the 2.4 kernel.

From the udev man page. As part of the hotplug subsystem, udev is executed if a kernel device is added or removed from the system. On device creation, udev reads the sysfs directory of the given device to collect device attributes. These attributes may be used as keys to determine a unique name for the device. ---hal From the /usr/share/doc/hal/NEWS.gz. HAL is a hardware abstraction layer and aims to provide a live list of devices present in the system at any point in time.

HAL tries to understand both physical devices (such as PCI, USB) and the device classes (such as input, net and block) physical devices have, and allows merging of information from so called device info files specific to a device.
