Thanks Martin: I got it working. Actually, I noticed the
"vanilla" kernel and that turned out to contain the advansys
driver, so I didn't need to download the above drivers, but
it's useful to know this in future.

I seem to have hit on a goldmine of Debian information however :-)
My next question is, what's the recommended way to upgrade the
kernel? For some reason, doing an 'apt-get dist-upgrade' never
updates the kernel (possibly a good thing). Do I really need
to search out the appropriate packages by hand and 'apt-get install'
each one?

Rich.
