It would do if all the debian network scripts are in place. Last time I tried 
(some time ago now) wpa_supplican would connect, but the scripts that are 
supposed to run on connection to sort out IP, DNS etc. were missing.

2008.8/9 appears to be using connman which is supposed to do a similar job to 
NetworkManager.
