The URL you used was
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/wheezy_di_beta4/i386/iso-cd/ ?
But maybe amd64 instead of i386.

UNetbootin? Last time I used it it didn't even display a Debian splash
screen and some of the menus did not function. It did boot but I doubt
anyone (not me, anyway) is going to debug the operation of this software,
especially as the CD FAQ at
http://www.debian.org/CD/
and the install manual describe a reliable method for writing an ISO on
a USB device. Is there any reason why you cannot use it?
I think d-i says it is detecting and mounting a CD-ROM. Somewhat
confusing if you have a USB stick. In expert mode there should be a
message which says CD-ROM autodetection has been successful.

Please see above.

In what way could it not be configured? Firmware? WPA passphrase? A
problem with the access point?

The CD contains everything you need to get KDE. Try it without any network
connection. My beta-3 KDE ISO gave me KDE with the network operative.
