You meant WPA? (a WAP access would be very slow :-) )
The installer only allows WEP-based encryption method, it is documented
here:
***
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch02s01.html.en#network-cards
"(...) Support for encrypted wireless during installation is currently
limited to WEP. If your access point uses stronger encryption, it cannot
be used during the installation process."
