The installer would have offered you a choice of two interfaces. What were they called? How were they described? To set up a wireless interface you have to provide a WEP password. From what you say you didn't, so it appears unlikely the network was enabled with the wireless device. I think using d-i in expert mode has been mentioned. Looking at the fourth console (ALT-F4) may also be beneficial. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
