This is the info for the card:

Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2]
Network Connection (rev 05)

I installed the ipw2200 driver.

Have you installed firmware-linux-nonfree package? Mine is also an intel
chipset, but a different model. Mine wouldn't work without the non-free
firmware.


I did install the non-free firmware. I also installed network manager
and its command line interface.

No dice :-(



I have debian installed on a Toshiba Equium which I think uses the same chipset. I had problems with the install but got it sorted out in the end. There often seem to be issues where networking works during installation but fails when the new system is booted without the installation CD. I could have a look at the config and see if anything springs to mind.

I also recently installed debian on an Acer Aspire One 753 netbook. Again networking worked during the install, but failed on the newly booted system. I got it sorted after a bit of a websearch. Details here: http://www.bluecedar.org.uk/?p=233

Are you installing stable or testing?
