I just updated my install of intrepid-amd64 on my laptop and now my touchpad and keyboard do not work. I have tried inserting a USB keyboard and mouse to circumvent this issue (both cold and hotplugged) to no avail. CTRL-ALT-DEL still works but thats about it. I have tried using last good boot and recovery mode xfix, also to no avail. I have tried dropping to recovery root and manually calling apt-get to update to a hopefully pathced package version but I cannot bring up my ethernet connection, from running ifup eth0 i get the error "Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0" even though when I run ifconfig eth0, its detected.
