Was there a difference between kernels/wireless drivers on Kubuntu and Debian?
Also, some drivers need the interface to be up when you set the ESSID,
otherwise they do not try to connect to an access point.
Can you try setting adding this to /etc/network/interfaces:
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless-essid asgard
wireless-key XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
And then use "ifup wlan0" to bring up the interface? If that doesn't work, can
you try NetworkManager and see if that works with your card?
