I would expect it to work well with Debian, generally. It is in the 'sid' release, but not 'etch', so you would probably need to download source and compile. Which may also require installing additonal library packages, so not as simple as an apt-get ;( It definitely supports WPA, as that is what I use for my home AP. -- Bob McGowan
