Yes.
The debian-lenny-5.0+whiite-1.10.txt file that you can find in the same directory where you can download debian-lenny-5.0+whiite-1.10.tar.bz2 hints you at what to do in "7.2 Secure Shell (ssh)". The same information can be found in http://www.gc-linux.org/wiki/WL:whiite-linux .

There's a "hidden" tool /root/whiite-ez-wifi-config that you can use to easily setup your wifi connection using a text-based dialog.
Your WLAN must support either WEP or WPA/WPA2. Open wireless are not supported by that tool :)

You can start the tool by running as root (without the hash sign):

# /root/whiite-ez-wifi-config

Those packages come already installed in whiite-1.10.

>I know there should be a way to download on PC and copy on to Wii, then enable my wifi. It seems that I need to gain some Debian knowledge first.
