The scsi directory is probably not the proper place for them but I don't
know if it matters as long as it works.  Did you reboot the machine and
do a "ifconfig -a" to see if there is a new newtorking device?  Even
without rebooting you can do a "depmod -a" and then modprobe the 
proper module to see if it gets loaded fine and gives you a new interface

As far as wireless stuff goes you need to make sure you have the 
wireless-tools package and then you should be able to add the wireless
info into the interfaces section like this

  iface wireless  inet dhcp
    wireless-essid        Example
    wireless-mode         Managed
    wireless-key          24954A6841BF5357414594E5EF

at least that's how it works on other Debian systems.  I haven't tried
it on the TS series yet.  The wireless-tools package should provide you
with iwconfig which will let you do all the settings you want on the 
commandline to test and ensure that the network is working
