At the moment I don't have Debian installed, but I'm willing to install it again, if it should make it easier to set up what I need. For my Ubuntu I made the connection by pppoeconf and NetworkManager is installed. Running # nm-applet doesn't show it in the Xfce panel's notification area, but running # nm-connection-editor does start a GUI. Thank you, I'll try NetworkManager. I wasn't sure if it doesn't need additional settings too. I'll try with Ubuntu first and if needed I'll install Debian. First I need to understand what I have to set. Doing this doesn't work: Connection name: Wireless connection 1 [x] Connect automatically Tab "Wireless" SSID: oz Mode: Ad-hoc Band: Automatic (Channel: default) BSSID: Device MAC address: Cloned MAC adresse: MTU: automatic Tab "IPv4 Settings" Method: Manual Adress: 192.255.0.1 Netmask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 1.1.1.1 DNS servers: Search domains: (DHCP client ID:) [x] Require IPv4 addressing for this connection to complete Nothing edited for "Routes..." Nothing edited for tab "IPv6 Settings" Tab "Wireless security" Security: WE 128-bit Passphrase Key: 1234567890 Even a reboot won't connect WLAN. And assumed everything should be set up correctly, there still is no password? I can't find any howto.
