I installed the firmware-ralink v0.3 from sid and it now finds the
USB-N13 adapter.  I'm nearly there as it also finds the network.   wicd
indicates the correct network, identifies WPA2 and correct channel.

I'm having problems with the password.  The message says "Connection
Failed: Bad Password".   Hmmm.  I've entered it a few times but still
same error. 

I'm using "WPA 2 Personal" on the wireless router (Linksys WRT54GL). 

I've installed the wireless supplicant package from Squeeze.  Would this
need to be updated to either Wheezy or Sid?

Thanks again for your help.
