According to the wiki:
https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/HowToUse#NetworkManager , when using
NetworkManager, the wireless interface should not be referenced within
Debian's /etc/network/interfaces file.
So I didn't take any configuration steps, besides installing (aptitude)
the packages:
firmware-iwlwifi (non-free)
network-manager
network-manager-gnome
network-manager-kde
wireless-tools
wpasupplicant
and their dependencies.
I am using KDE. It says that network-manager-kde:
https://packages.debian.org/stable/network-manager-kde is a dummy
package, and that network-manager-gnome:
https://packages.debian.org/stable/network-manager-gnome works in KDE
too. But I can't see a systray applet anywhere, unless I run nm-applet
from the command line.
I also disabled openvpn on startup (I think it was installed as one of
the dependencies).
openvpn 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off
