While I was installing I got an error message about some missing

had to skip the setup of the network because of this.
So the first step is getting the firmware for the WLAN card.
I'm not sure this is really the problem; rtl8105e-1.fw is requested by
the r8169 ethernet driver and not by any wireless driver. So it could
simply be the case that your WLAN card is not supported by the Squeeze
kernel. What does "lspci -vk" print?
*blink* That's *really* embarrassing! I could have sworn... :(

The last one is my wireless adaptor. An Ralink RT5390 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adaptor.
So maybe my wired adaptor will work? I can try that in a bit.
Still confused why the wireless doesn't work.
