After a long-winded filesystem check yesterday i could successful recover my slug. I was unsure if some important files were corrupted and moved to /lost+found. To ensure the itegrity of all packages from dpkg, I installed the tool called  «debsums» from the repositories. I execuded “debsums -sa” to see, which files dont match to the md5 sum delivered in every deb-package.  I asserted that no files (in which I didnt made consciously a change) were differing from the original md5 sum. Phew!

The other thing, my umts-modem, isnt actually working like it should. Its recognized correctly by the harware abstraction layer, but the network manager cant etablish a connection. I already found a solution by unload the driver and reload it manually (modprobe -r option && modprobe -a option). Afterwards it (somtimes) worked like it should, I try to create an automatic solution with an udev rule, but more on this later.

Yesterday I did the jaunty upgrade on my eeepc 900. The icon umts network card is no longer recogized by the network manager.  I suppose it has to do with my manual configuration I did on Ubuntu 8.04 when I had to configure it by hand. My solution is quite simple: I will do a clean reinstall, because the system has gotten slow anyway with the time. -> Save the Home dir and I am ready to reinstall.
