Comments/Problems:
(1) The Debian Installer asked an encryption key for the wireless
network interface and I answered with `s:...'. But the installer
did not set the encryption key and DHCP configuration failed.
Furthermore, the installer did not store the encryption key in
/etc/network/interfaces. I had to insert `wireless-enc s:...' into
/etc/network/interfaces manually.
(2) My wireless network interface was totally unusable with the 2.6
kernel in the CDROM, while the 2.4 kernel in the CDROM worked.
