One of the great difficulties I had was getting the wireless configured on my new setup. There are many links and howtos scattered around the internet, but actually not one of them was what I needed - or really explained the nitty-gritty details: they all just skimmed over a few bits, presumably assuming that if you're clever enough to get debian running, you must know how to get the networking sorted. Or, maybe I just missed the ones that could have really helped me.

The result is, I've decided to write some brief notes about what I did to get stuff working. It should also be noted that I'm prompted to do this not only by dkg but also cos I'm trying to clean up my homedir a little bit, and I had some old notes lying around that would otherwise get lost and forgotten.
