Rebooting and doing a iwlist wlan0 scan IS NECESSARY to make the card work, it probably inits the card the proper way (wireless light lits up) my arno iptables firewall setup: ext network interfaces: wlan0 dhcp used (unnec. ?) no open tcp udp no ping no internal network ifaces I didn't test the following, found on : [[ ]] WPA encryption in etch 01.05.07 13:36:02 wlan This is how to use WPA encryption in debian etch: Prerequisites: * ndiswrapper installed and running (use modules-assitant), also it has to be configured to use the windows drivers (Installation instructions ndiswrapper) * install the packages wpasupplicant and optionally wpagui * your interface is named wlan0 Then use wpa_passphrase [ssid] [passphrase] > /etc/wpa_supplicant.mynet.conf to create a basic configfile. This has to be enriched by some more variables to look like this: ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant network={ ssid="myssid" key_mgmt=WPA-PSK proto=WPA pairwise=TKIP group=TKIP auth_alg=OPEN psk=cryptic_key_which_was_generated } If you are unshure about the values, have a look with iwlist wlan0 scan To bring up the interface with WPA enabled, create an entry in /etc/network/interfaces (configuration of IP via DHCP) iface mywlan inet dhcp pre-up /sbin/wpa_supplicant -Dwext -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.mynet.conf -iwlan0 -B post-down killall -q wpa_supplicant post-down rm -r /var/run/wpa_supplicant Do not use -Dndiswrapper which is recommended by man wpa_supplicant, but -Dwext Then starting the network interface is done by ifup wlan0=mywlan
