wpa configuration is done thru iwpriv (a few cards) or wpa_supplicant
(most of the cards, including ipw2200). Install wpa_supplicant, read its
man page. You can use wpa_cli (terminal) or wpa_gui (X) or simply
modify /etc/network/interfaces (this is the new Debian way to
configure wpa, rather than the old one which was ton modify
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf).
Here is an excerpt from my /etc/network/interfaces:
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.1.83
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
wireless-essid HERE_MY_ESSID
wpa-driver wext
wpa-ssid HERE_MY_ESSID
wpa-proto WPA
wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
wpa-pairwise CCMP
wpa-group CCMP
wpa-psk "HERE_MY_Pre-shared-key_(PSK)"
This is for a wpa lan whith a pre-shared key and CCMP (AES) encryption.
You will find more details in wpa_supplicant man page.
