Hints for hardware with non-free needs:
aptosid contains only dfsg free software, so you'll probably want to add contrib/ non-free to your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list and ensure internet access.
# See sources.list(5) for more information, especially # Remember that you can only use http, ftp or file URIs # CDROMs are managed through the apt-cdrom tool. # The /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory provides a way to add sources.list # entries in separate files that end with sources.list file. # unstable deb http://cdn.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free # deb-src http://cdn.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free # testing # deb http://cdn.debian.net/debian testing main contrib non-free # deb-src http://cdn.debian.net/debian testing main contrib non-free # experimental # deb http://cdn.debian.net/debian experimental main contrib non-free # deb-src http://cdn.debian.net/debian experimental main contrib non-free
and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/aptosid.list:
# aptosid, Germany deb http://aptosid.com/debian/ sid main fix.main #deb-src http://aptosid.com/debian/ sid main fix.main
The required firmware can be determined with the following device/ firmware enumeration or by using the fw-detect script (packaged in aptosid-scripts).
