As far as I can tell, /etc/modutils/0keep should not be executable. It
belongs to the modutils package, which itself is depreciated for 2.6
kernels and has been superceded by module-init-tools.

Etch's kernel is at 2.6.18.5.

Not really, you seem to be running something in between Sarge and Etch.
I would fully upgrade to Etch before doing anything else. Then you can
install module-assistant and it should do all the wlan-ng-related work
for you. ("module-assistant prepare" followed by "module-assistant
auto-install linux-wlan-ng".)

my questions are inline. thanks.

is there any way i can get rid of the message '/etc/modutils/0keep: line 9:
keep: command not found [etc]' while i am doing the upgrade.
btw, when i remove the x permission from 0keep, i get similar messages
for /etc/modutils/actions and other files in modutils/. i tried removing x
permission for all files in modutils/, and then got same kind of message for
files deeper into the directory structure. at that point i gave up on it.

David,
hmmm. i did 'chmod -R 777 /dev' a couple of months ago, changing unwittingly
many (most?) permissions on the system accordingly. will a dist-upgrade wreck
what is left of the system?
