This is from my notes on the subject:


  1. apt-get install wireless-tools
        - read /usr/share/doc/wireless-tools/README/Debian for
          instructions on setting up /etc/network/interfaces
  2. Follow instructions in INSTALL
  3. Use the following in /etc/network/interfaces

        iface wlan0 inet dhcp
                wireless_keymode open

There are a number of wireless modes available, all documented in the
above mentioned doc. Hope that helps!
