deb http://'''YOURMIRROR'''/debian/ squeeze main '''contrib non-free'''<br />
deb-src http://'''YOURMIRROR'''/debian/ squeeze main '''contrib non-free'''<br />
<br />

<br />
'''deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main'''<br />
<br />
Ensure you're up to date:<br />
# apt-get update<br />
# apt-get install apt-show-versions debian-multimedia-keyring debian-ports-archive-keyring<br />
# apt-get update<br />

<br />
== Networking ==<br />
Packages to install:<br />
* wpasupplicant<br />
* firmware-iwlwifi ''(firmware for Intel 3945ABG Wireless)''<br />
<br />
Create '''/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf''':<br />
ap_scan=1<br />
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant<br />
network={<br />
ssid="'''myssid'''"<br />
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK<br />
proto=WPA RSN<br />
pairwise=CCMP_TKIP<br />
group=CCMP_TKIP<br />
psk="'''mypresharedkey'''"<br />
}<br />
<br />
Add to '''/etc/networki/interfaces'''<br />
auto wlan0<br />
iface wlan0 inet dhcp<br />
wpa-driver wext<br />
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf<br />
<br />
<br />
== Audio ==<br />
Packages to install:<br />
* alsa-utils<br />
<br />
Add these to '''/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf''' OR create a new file (I created '''sound.conf''')<br />

options snd-hda-intel index=0<br />
<br />
Reload audio with '''alsa reload''' as root.<br />
<br />

LOCK_SCREEN=false<br />
LID_SLEEP=true<br />
<br />
If you still have issues just replace '''/etc/acpi/lid.sh''' with:<br />
#!/bin/sh<br />
grep -q closed /proc/acpi/button/lid/*/state<br />
if [ $? = 0 ]<br />
then<br />
/usr/sbin/pm-suspend<br />
fi<br />
