Just because it works properly with other distros doesn't mean that Debian hasn't mucked something up. Bottom line is this: Evo gets its connection status from NetworkManager, if NM is not configured properly Evo thinks that there is no network connection and so goes off-line. Most distros manage configure NM properly, Debian obviously doesn't. Like Patrick I use Fedora, so I can't help you with Debian, sorry. However, it doesn't take an awful lot of effort to search on Google - e.g. search for "debian network manager config" and it comes up with a Debian wiki page as the first offering: http://wiki.debian.org/NetworkManager and in there there is a whole section on "NetworkManager in Squeeze" - I think you'll probably find that it will help you. There's even a bug reference for it: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=530024 As others said - not an Evo issue.
