Comments/Problems: Netwrok autocofiguration failed.
It asks me for my ESSID. I am not totally sure what this is
I started out playing with Knoppix to try my Linux experience.
That program asked me for my SSID I entered 802.11b and it worked.
I tried that with Debian install, but it didn't work. I am a beginner
and I am not quite sure what is the next step.
Thank you in advance
Sincerely,
Steven
