TP-LINK wireless USB adapter don't work.

[atar]

aHi there!!

I've a TP-LINK USB wireless adapter with model number TL-WN722N. When I  
plug it in to one of the USB slots in my PC, its LED diode isn't flashing  
(although under WIN XP it is flashing) and I cannot use it. from the  
messages of the 'dmesg' command it seems that the kernel detect it, but I  
unable to use it because it doesn't appear on the wicd window of available  
interfaces.

My Linux distro is Debian squeeze with kernel 2.6.32-5-686.

What should I do in order to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance!!

It is ath9k-htc based adapter. Please update your kernel and use latest 
firmware. I think Debian squeeze do not provided this firmware, so you 
should install it manually.

Thank you about your answer, but how can I install the firmware? which  
processes are need to be taken in order to accomplish the firmware  
installation and configuration?

Please, do not top-post.

You should get a bit familiar with your operating system.
This mailing-list is no $distro support-channel.

We now have Debian/wheezy (v7.x)!
You should upgrade (check release-notes and upgrade-process).
Can't say off-hand which of the firmware-package you need, just check
by yourself [1] (wild speculation: install firmware-linux-nonfree) or
consult one of Debian's WiFi wiki-pages.
Or ask on Debian's IRC channel for users - it's sometimes faster.

If you insist on Debian/squeeze you can activate squeeze-backports
software-archive (or download it directly and install manually).
As these are only firmware-blobs you might take a higher version of the package.
