[SOLVED]wlan and debian wheezy
I have installed debian wheezy on old computer. I cannot configure wlan interface using network manager. I cannot set Ad-Hoc setting in options. The save button is grayed and I cannot click save. What can I do?

Re: wlan and debian wheezy
1) Have you changed the sources list to include contrib and non-free?
2) Have you discovered the wifi chip?
3) Have you installed the correct wifi firmware?

If you need to access one of the old distributions of Debian, you can find them at the Debian Archives, http://archive.debian.org/debian/.

Re: wlan and debian wheezy
I Have added this line in /etc/network/interfaces
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid myssid
wpa-psk mypsk
After ifup wlan0 I get this error mesage:
wpa_supplicant: /sbin/wpa_supplicant daemon failed to start
run-parts: /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wpasupplicant exited with return code 1
What is the problem?

Re: wlan and debian wheezy
You will most likely have to build the driver for that chip as it is not in the kernel for Wheezy.
