Debian/GNU Linux Lenny on the Bullman 2SRD15 C-Klasse Laptop

This is a short HOWTO about getting Debian to work on the Bullman 2SRD15 C-Klasse laptop (the model number on the back is S15S though).

Every hardware works fine except: Suspend-to-RAM, SD-Card-Reader and the network card.

Network Card

The driver for the ET131x Agere network card works fine in 32bit mode. In 64bit mode the same driver compiled with different kernels, e.g. 2.6.27 didn't work. I have posted this issue at the ET131x driver forum.
