Hi, This card should be supported with the r8712u driver. But, you need the firmware-realtek package from the non-free section. This is not included with the official installation images. You could download and provide the firmware during installation, or instead use an unofficial image with firmware: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firm ware/ -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 6FAB5CD5
