So, putting my laptop installation aside, and concentrating on a VM using KVM with USB pass-through to a USB adapter (USB ID is 0bda:8176, that's RTL8188CUS), I've been able to verify (assuming firmwares have been made available every time): - wheezy amd64 works with WPA (TKIP) and WPA2 (AES) [ sharing network over a Firefox OS phone with those denominations. ] - wheezy amd64 works with WPA2-PSK/AES [ as advertised by my home router ] - sid amd64 doesn't work with any of those, even if I build an image with wheezy's netcfg and/or wheezy's wpasupplicant-udeb. I've also verified that installing over a wired connection lets me configure wpa_supplicant and connect to wireless from within the same VM, so there's definitely something fishy within d-i, even if I don't know what yet. Anyway, that doesn't allow me to conclude on the “WEP might be OK” topic, but various WPA setups are clearly broken. Let's see whether I can get that debugged further tomorrow. Mraw, KiBi.
