try the curses based installer.it's better.then
apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics tpconfig
there are configuring tools available like gsynaptics available.
I am running Debian Etch with Sid+experimental
apt-pinned
Synaptics touch pad surely will have been auto detected na?
as far as wireless lans are -i am inexperienced and u can check for packages like pcmcia utils,wireless-tools etc installed.for firmwares available and for particular wii cards support perhaps u need to have a good sources.list with non-free enabled.
