If you run iwlist wlan0 scan, it will probably show that the connection is
using WPA 2 encryption. In that case you'll need to install wpa-supplicant and
configure the WPA 2 password in order to connect.
If you're already connected to the Access Point, you need to run a DHCP client
to obtain an IP address and other network details.
All of this can be automated in /etc/network/interfaces under Debian so it's a
very simple matter of enabling the interface with ifup once you've configured
it correctly.
Without knowing how yours is configured and wht isn't working, I can't give
more detailed advice.
