Due to the switch to hotplug-light in grml 0.5 there were some issues reported with scripts in /etc/hotplug/usb. If you encounter problems especially with hotplugging USB hardware, please report them via the ways described at
http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=bugs
Using the ipw drivers I see something like: 'eth1: NETDEV_TX_BUSY returned; driver should report queue full via ieee_device→is_queue_full.' in the syslog. This does not seem to be a serious problem. Anyway, it is
reported upstream.
DHCP does not work: The ipw-drivers in grml already contain special fixes for fixing problems with ipw and kernel 2.6.13. But you might have to run 'iwlist $DEVICE scanning' (adjust $DEVICE with the corresponding network device) anyway to get an associated connection to the access point.
you have to use '-Dwext' for wpa_supplicant to use the wireless extensions when wpa_supplicant is running. Adjust $OPTIONS in /etc/default/wpasupplicant, for example using:
OPTIONS="-Dwext -i eth1 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf"
Some styles from the 'Styles' menu don't work as assumed because they use fonts which are not available on the live-CD. Seems to be related to
#292554. Fix:
fluxbox.fix
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,
removing from list!
This problem is caused by package artwiz-cursor. The problem has been reported to
the debian BTS (
#341397). Either remove the package running 'apt-get remove artwiz-cursor' or use the workaround mentioned in the bugreport (
#341397).
