You were allocated an IPv6 address and that was partly as expected as the network here supports IPv6 I believe but if it was not a network allocation over wireless (more likely) then Debian was assigning an IPv6 address by default.
This led me to think that you network configuration was at fault and the card not properly setup, I was expecting something like this in: /etc/network auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp however your wlan card was named something different to wlan0 ? If my memory serves me right. So this may have been a modules conf issue...
