I don't think it's necessary for me to 'mlocate' or 'pwd', do you?
'firmware-iwlwifi.deb' is not right. It has to be 'firmware-iwlwifi_0.28+squeeze1_all.deb'
This is the first real progress I've made since the installation succeeded. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Now, regarding a network manager, the terminal session below is from about 2 hours ago. Can you help with it?

There are uninstalled dependencies:

wicd-gtk (= 1.7.0+ds1-5+squeeze3)

When I do a google search for "1.7.0+ds1-5+squeeze3" I find lots of stuff (too much stuff), including Python - gee, I've written Python server code - is that needed for this? Python aside, I don't know what to do next, so I'll wait for a push in a particular direction (and hope that it's not towards a cliff).
Ciao - Mark (who's going to go out and catch some food for a little while).
