This is from my notes on the subject:
1. apt-get install wireless-tools
- read /usr/share/doc/wireless-tools/README/Debian for
instructions on setting up /etc/network/interfaces
2. Follow instructions in INSTALL
3. Use the following in /etc/network/interfaces
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless_keymode open
There are a number of wireless modes available, all documented in the
above mentioned doc. Hope that helps!
Steve
