It looks like it is detected. I guess we need more details.

i tried the wicd section because thats what comes out of my debian box but sadly
im still unable to use the wireless card

I haven't used Wicd for a long time, but open preferences to find this:


Then try changing wlan0 to wlp2s0.

You have a Debian version that comes with wicd preinstalled instead of network-manager? What version is this?

The last I tried it, wicd also required you to manually add the wireless interface to manage into its preferences before you could use it. That might be at the root of your problem.

i using version 9.1.

Ok i instlled network-manager and change the config to 'true'
restart the pc and the wireless is now working.
thanks for the help
