I recently installed Debian "Etch".
It was my first real attempt at linux at home, but I use it in school, so I can function.
My wireless Card Doesn't Work (D-link DWA-542, if any of you have an easy solution).
I look for alternatives, and here's a step by step:

1>Okay, I installed ndiswrapper. it went hunky-dory.
2>Then i found out it doesn't support WPA.
3>Oh noes.
4>I must have WPA, WEP keys are too easy to hack.
5>Google.
6>wpa-supplicant!
7>Hooray.
8>make install
9>error: No yada yada.
10>Google.
11>"Use wireless-manager, it loads wpa-supplicant for you!"
12>Hooray.
13>dselect
14>/wireless-manager
15>Install.
16>Error: wpa-suplicant >=4.08 is required, but will not be installed.


Help.

Once Ndiswrapper is rightly set up, the only thing you need to install is "network-manager". If you use Gnome, then :
will do it.

That was step 14 thru 16.

Can you post the content of your /etc/apt/sources.list then ?
