Install the hostap and the wireless-tools package (I compiled it from unstable), and add to your /etc/network/interfaces something like # wireless DHCP iface wlan0 inet dhcp wireless_power period 2 wireless_mode managed wireless_essid MyNetwork wireless_nick andre wireless_key xxxxxxxx restricted where xxxxxxxx would be in hex, and match your access point's key. -Andre
