Now we're getting somewhere.

So udev requires the new kernel, but my upgrade forgot to arrange this for 
me. Any idea why?

Maybe I already had another kernel than the default one for breezy, so the 
upgrade did not dare
to mess with it. I maybe have recompiled my kernel trying to get a newer 
sound card to work.

Or the command line upgrade procedure does not show you your options after 
the upgrade.
I remember reading somewhere that upgrading using a graphic client gives you 
more options.

I'll try to figure out how to boot into the new kernel and see if everything 
is solved without my
fix.

> /usr/share/misc/pci.ids is irrelevant. The driver contains the pci id.

You mean it is in the source? What is the point of having this file then? 
Can I remove it?
Or do we have two places where the same thing is/should be defined?

Thanks for all the help. I apologize for all my ignorant tries to understand 
the situation, but its my nature not just to
complain but also try to solve something. I definitely learned something 
from all this (for instance: after an upgrade
first look at your boot log if something goes wrong, but it was such a minor 
inconvenience that I did not bother).

Best regards,
