new to Debian and I have just installed 505 on an old laptop, and it's running sweet, I'm trying to get the builtin wireless lan to work and have downloaded the atmel_at76c506.bin driver but I'm not sure what to do with it at this stage, have installed network-manager too,
Thanks

You don't. Make sure you have contrib non-free in your sources.list then you do
aptitude install atmel-firmware

aptitude install atmel-firmware

FYI, if you want to see where Debian installs stuff, use the 'dpkg' command in a terminal, with the 'L' switch, followed by the name of the package..
Like this: dpkg -L <packagename>
