ath0 -> wlan0, not eth0 (as someone else pointed out).  Did you do
everything else in http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/HowTo/Upgrade ?

Please post your xorg.conf.

I wouldn't reinstall.  I'd just work through these issues.  I'm sure it
won't take long for us to sort out.

No.

You can get rid of gdm.
