So wifi does not work. Unfortunately at this time (as far as I know) the debian-installer does not support WPA or WPA2 at installation time. Only open wifi and WEP wifi support has so far been included. Installation over WPA/WPA2 isn't yet available. I have heard it is being worked on. > I have installed the firmware-iwlwifi package and have checked that > the firmware files required are in /lib/firmware. > > Is there any way I can get the firmware loaded once squeeze is > installed so that wifi will work? You should be able to install using a wire, using open wifi, using WEP wifi without problems. After you install the system should be able to connect using WPA/WPA2 wifi okay. This is the way virtually every laptop that installs Debian and then uses wireless for WPA/WPA2 works today. Bob
