Hmmm... I just tried to update using sudo apt-get install linux-686
and got the following error (after trying sudo apt-get -f install
after it failed the first time)

======
Unpacking linux-restricted-modules-2.6.8.1-3-686 (from
.../linux-restricted-modules-2.6.8.1-3-686_2.6.8.1.2-2_i386.deb) ...

(--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/lib/hotplug/firmware/RADIO0d.BIN', which is
also in package linux-restricted-modules-2.6.8.1-3-386
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Any idea what's going on? My first instinct was that it's maybe
something to do with my wireless card firmware (Centrino IPW2100)?

Anyone got an idea how to get this working?

Chris
