1. The "linuxarm-guide-rev2.0.pdf" states on page 28:

        Do the same directions apply for WLAN operation under Debian?

        All I've done to my 7400 so far is change the /linuxrc symlink to 
point to /linuxrc-sdboot and rebooted under Debian, ethernet and 
serial are working great and now I want to bring up the WLAN.


2. is there any way to get WEP or WPA encryption using the WLAN 
support in Debian ?  (Ideally WPA if for no other reason than I only 
have one base station in the house and it's in WPA mode)

3. The kit I got came with the SD card pre-installed in the 7400 with 
the Debian environment on it.  If I mess that up in some way, what 
are the steps to restore that flash card to its factory state ?  Or, 
what would be the best way to back it up?

thanks in advance for any help on these.

Rob
