It asks me for my ESSID. I am not totally sure what this is I started out playing with Knoppix to try my Linux experience. That program asked me for my SSID I entered 802.11b and it worked. I tried that with Debian install, but it didn't work. I am a beginner and I am not quite sure what is the next step. Thank you in advance Sincerely, Steven
