Going wireless

[T o n g <mlist4suntong@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

I always use wired network for my laptop because I don't know how to 
properly get wireless going. I've been to web sites like the following 
but they all look rather complicated.

The basics of wireless LAN interface
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/
ch05.en.html#_the_basics_of_wireless_lan_interface

Wireless network setup
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Wireless-HOWTO-5.html

wireless utilities
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Documentation

Now I want to try just again. So, what packages do I need to install in 
order to get my wire-networked laptop going wireless? What are the 
configuration (and troubleshooting) steps? 

Thanks
