It didn't help immediately. Now re-booting. Ah, now it works.

I have not been using network-manager, since I have a PEAP network to connect to at the office, and at least when I originally installed the system, network-manager couldn't manage that, and use wpa-supplicant instead. Has network-manager extended its capabilities to include PEAP authentication? I'm already in the netdev group, anyway. Again, thanks for your help. I assume that these changes are made automatically when a user installs debian now, but such config changes might not always get put into upgrades. -- David L.
