The coffee lounge isn't really the right place for this post.

Anyway, you need the iwlagn driver, which is fairly new and not present in Debian Stable by default. You'll have to update your kernel and install the firmware.

Instructions here: iwlagn - Debian Wiki

Or you can use something like Linux Mint or Ubuntu, in which this card should work out of the box.
