WPA isn't supported during the installation of Debian. Only WEP is supported. http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch03s03.html > > Not sure if any extended commands/utils are existing > in installer.

That's the complex way to do it! Simply Install a Debian Desktop from CD/DVD, then enable the wpa. Note: That's odd, but gnome CD1 (debian-500-i386-CD-1) don't have the package wpasupplicant (so you also need CD2). on the other hand, debian-500-i386-kde-CD-1 and debian-500-i386-DVD-1 does have it. > Would you, please, point me to these 'howtos' or > 'mans'?
