Make sure the firmware-ipw3945 and ipw3945d packages are installed as well. If you use GNOME then install network-manager-gnome. This is the easiest way to connect and should work. There is a document on the Ubuntu wiki (!) that works in Debian as well:

I would use WPA if I were you, WEP is broken and easily cracked. Hope this helps,
