	I don't recall if this was mentioned before or not, so here goes anyway...

	My TP A31p had breezy, internal network, & wireless card. Upgraded to 
Dapper via another wired network card (only because I forgot about the 
internal wired network. Duh.)
	Upgrade went nice, only some minor adding & removing via Synaptic.
	Got home, popped in the wireless card and... no network. Bummer. Then I 
remembered seeing the file /etc/iftab. Went into there (without the 
wireless card in the laptop), and removed the line that contained the 
MAC address of the wireless. Shutdown, popped wireless back in, started 
the puppy back up and... Boom! Wireless networking back in business! No 
other reconfig necessary!
