A time ago, I decided to change my bad-supported Broadcom wireless card to a better supported (I thought) Intel 6200 card. As well as this, I decided to change my OS, and try a new and different one.
So, I installed Fedora, and wireless card worked perfectly. The problem is now, that I prefer Debian, and I'd like to change, but the wireless card is not supported for some reason (testing over Live CD with kernel 3.2.0-4).

I tried disabling N (11n_disable=1), but it doesn't work either.
Might have been a regression - I just got an ultrabook with this in it, and noticed only liveCDs with the latest kernels will bring wifi up successfully.
I don't have a need to stay with one particular distro, so I'll just go with one that works. YMMV.
Try it out if you wish. Take a test drive. Use F keys at boot (just to play with boot options). Who knows. You might like it.
During install. You are given a choice of running wheezy or sid repos before install.
