Have you tried Synaptic and click on "Edit" -> "Fix Broken Packages"?
What package are you using for WiFi? WICD? KNetwork Connections?
I don't know what happened to KNetwork Manager unless the name was
changed to KNetwork Connections.
What do you get when you type "sudo ifup wlan0"?  If you don't have
Wlan0 then use whatever name is given for your wireless.
What do you get with "iwconfig"?
