It should, dependant on the Debian you use. You must at least have a
file called .orbitrc in your root's directory.
To check out what you need to use such tools you must have admin
privileges visit:
http://live.gnome.org/Orca/UbuntuHardy
Note: Perhaps you mustn't do all the steps explained there, but at least
that .orbitrc file is needed.
When everything is set up correctly, open a Gnome terminal and type:
sudo network-admin
You will be asked for your user password, and then the admin tool shows
up. Check whether your wlan is listed and then start configuring it.
Note: I cannot give you details on this, since I don't use wlan.
