2. Assuming I will be able to run TDE again, I am
unable to get
NetworkManager to work. I use
nm-applet. I can add the wireless connection, but I am unable to store
password (the field is
always empty, despite me saving the password). Moreover, nm-applet doesn't
list any wirelesss
networks and when I choose to connect to hidden network and select my
connection the "Connect"
button is grayed out.
It looks like you might be affected by this Debian bug:

Regarding the wireless problem, is your network device firmware configured
properly? One way to tell is to run "ifconfig -a" and make sure a wlan0
entry shows up. Other than that, I have noticed that nm-applet is not
exactly user-friendly; if one little field is not configured correctly it
won't enable the "Connect" or "Save" buttons, and it won't
tell you what
you did wrong either.
