hi victor,

after doing the latest update, i got the following error during
installation (and also from later calls to depmod -a):

WARNING: Loop detected: /lib/modules/2.6.12-1-686/linux-wlan-ng/p80211.ko which needs p80211.ko again!
WARNING: Module /lib/modules/2.6.12-1-686/linux-wlan-ng/p80211.ko ignored, due to loop

although:

mini-me[~]21:48:24$ sudo modinfo
/lib/modules/2.6.12-1-686/linux-wlan-ng/p80211.ko

parm:           wlan_wext_write:enable write wireless extensions (int)
parm:           wlan_watchdog:transmit timeout in milliseconds (int)

i have no idea what's going on, but unfortunately this prevents
p80211.ko from being loaded, which means no internet (because the
pre-up script in /etc/network will fail out).
