I'm not aware of that command, where can I find the .deb?

I haven't actually dont a dist-upgrade myself yet, but these things
should be there unless it installed a new kernel for you.  What kind of
network card do you have?  Have you tried modprobe on the NIC module and
alsa modules?  I have a feeling they may be there, just not being loaded
by the new startup scripts.
