I have a machine in the same condition, but my experience is that
3.12 won't accomodate system filter support which came with 3.2 if I
recall correctly. Upgrade to the Woody version (3.35) if you can and the
filter will do quite well. Unfortunately, 4.x isn't yet in an official
maintained Debian package, but it's available elsewhere.
