Please. When you used reportbug, it said:

"grave: makes the package in question UNUSABLE BY MOST OR ALL USERS, or
causes data loss, or introduces a security hole allowing access to the
accounts of users who use the package."

Could you show me the full output of "iwconfig -a"?

Is that a kernel from an official Debian kernel package, is it one from
the netinst or is it a kernel you compiled yourself? If it is not the
same kernel as installed by the netinst, could you try installing the
one from netinst and check if that makes any difference?
