Iridos: Which is to say, I'm connected via the wireless card and I had to 'modprobe b43' to get here.

bgardner, that seems to suggest you got the correct firmware… the module could be blacklisted, but that would have been something you did yourself some time previous
Iridos 2017-01-30 04:01:31
dpkg, blacklist
dpkg 2017-01-30 04:01:32
To blacklist a Linux kernel module, create/edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.local.conf and add a line similar to this (without quotes): "blacklist module_name". If this doesn't work, do 'echo "install modulename /bin/true" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.local.conf'. IMPORTANT: ask about . To blacklist a module at installation time, ask me about . http://wiki.debian.org/KernelModuleBlacklisting

that would still be the simplest thing I could think of
bgardner 2017-01-30 04:02:37
Iridos: Oof, it totally is in the blacklist file. Yike, you'd think I would have checked that.. Thanks!
Iridos 2017-01-30 04:04:05
:D
Iridos 2017-01-30 04:04:23
that's a good thing… because the next thing would have been to debug the udev process

Iridos: I can't reboot right now to test but I'm confident that will fix it. Thanks very much for the help!

as long as upgrade says '0 not upgraded', there is no need to ever full-upgrade?
petn-randall 2017-01-30 04:37:01
sd7gs6: That just means that whatever command you used, no packages where upgraded in the process.
petn-randall 2017-01-30 04:37:43
sd7gs6: generally it's good advice to run 'apt update' followed by 'apt upgrade' regularly on a system running Debian stable.
sd7gs6 2017-01-30 04:39:08
petn-randall: I mean as long-term updates, apt update, then is it okay to only ever run apt upgrade afterwards - not full - unless amount of not upgraded is non-zero?
sypher 2017-01-30 04:43:11
sd7gs6: What issue are you having? Your questions so far have been a little confusing.
Iridos 2017-01-30 04:43:17
no
Iridos 2017-01-30 04:44:14
the difference between upgrade and full-upgrade is that "upgrade" only does package->package upgrades and skips everything else, while full-upgrade will also upgrade packages that need packageadditions or removals
sd7gs6 2017-01-30 04:44:17
sorry I mean when doing updates, does one only need to do full-upgrade following an update if upgrade shows non-zero amount for not upgraded?
Iridos 2017-01-30 04:44:43
so the amount of upgrades in one has nothing to do with the ones in the other
