OK Touche - Still not upgrading but doing a clean install. My understanding was that Xfce4 was default on CDs, only because of space limitations - this was a net install. As it was Xfce4 was a strange looking beast, had a hard time finding anything to configure the network. Thankfully I'm not new to the cli. My point is though - How could a new user to Debian (say from Windows) been expected to know how to get WiFi going? > > Shouldn't the wifi have been configured?
