"Cannot use" means that you already installed a full system on your

The information you give is a bit chaotic. Can you please explain what
packages are installed in your system (full desktop environment, text

I'm afraid more precission and detailed information is required to
discover what can be happing here because amd64 images are as good as

Wireless is available at install time but only WEP for Squeeze images
(WPA is an option since wheezy, IIRC). Anyway, installing is the most
delicated step, nothing I would rely to a wireless data layer :-)
