This one says "Ethernet" (wired), any adapter with wireless?

What about 'grep -i firmware /var/log/syslog'?

Marc,

Perhaps this link will be useful to you: http://wiki.debian.org/rtl818x

That's exactly what I was expecting and why I asked for the output of
the command below.

This should give you a hint about what's missing, but it should be
'firmware-ralink'

I must admit I am disturbed by the fact that lspci shows the card under
Ubuntu but not under Debian. My first thought is missing firmware. But what?
Is there any evidence under /var/log/syslog or in dmesg that it is requesting
any firmware?
