both wireless-tools and wpasupplicant are listed as debian packages but
neither can be installed. I was able to get wicd-curses installed and
got told no wireles networks found so far.

Subject: Re: debian from ethernet to wifi
I didn't tell him that because he hadn't yet checked out his card to find out what it was.

Since no one actually told you what tools you need to install in order to configure your wireless, try these:
wpasupplicant
wireless-tools
wicd-curses

I have a command line installation of debian on a laptop that's supposed to
have the hardware to do wifi. Right now, I don't yet know what additional
software to install so this computer can talk to the wifi network and log
on. archlinux has madwifi and a large section on wifi installation on its
installguide file but that's not in the debian repository so for now I have
no clue. I do have a wifi adapter antenna I will have to use with a tower
system but don't know if this wil also be needed to run the laptop.
