I can't get to the wireless access point for a few days, but will try these and variations thereof Jörg-Volker. I have already created an /etc/network/interfaces file with different variations and will try each one with the others commented out. I went through the /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README.Debian.gz again Wayne and also kept googling. I thought I had tried it all from 2006 to the current year, but found more ways to try to make the connection. I also tried the squeeze installer on the net install CD, which found the wireless network first try when it didn't have a password, to find the wireless network now that it had a password. No joy. It couldn't find it. Your help is much appreciated.
