I can not find any errors in what you published.
I think network config is OK.
There might be a problem with the resolver.
Try using OpenDNS name servers, as specified here:  http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/post/160604/#p160604
PS: use geany or your own preferred editor in stead if gedit.
Save the file and reboot (not strictly necessary - restarting the network is probably enough)
Check /etc/resolv.conf
the 2 name servers you added to the config file should be there.

If you still can not connect to the network, install rfkill and see if it is blocked:
sudo apt-get install rfkill
sudo rfkill list


If there are soft blocks, you can remove them with

sudo rfkill unblock ...

see man rfkill for the syntax

I'll try this when I get back from school but just some information, before I did the .deb installers, my usb wireless light wouldn't turn on at all. Now it just blinks
