I am using Squeeze. I run aptitude update; aptitude full-upgrade every
day. I want to connect my laptop to the Wi-Fi I've setup in my home. I
am able to connect to it using Windows but not using Debian. I know
the SSID and WPA2-PSK key I have set. Channel of the router is set to
'Auto'. 'Broadcast SSID' is enabled.
1. I right clicked the network icon in the GNOME panel (Enable
wireless is already checked) and selected 'Edit connections'.
2. 'Network Connections' window opened. In the 'Wired' tab, it showed
'eth1' which is okay since I am using ethernet now.
3. In the 'Wireless' tab it showed nothing.
4. But, now I don't know what to put in the BSSID and MAC fields.
Some, useful outputs that might help you to help me.

Please help me to get wireless working with Debian (recentmost Squeeze).
