configure a wireless conection

[Luis antónio Marques Caetano]

Hi all. I'm using ubuntu 10.10.
Until now, I wasn't able to configure a wireless conection. I know (a
friend of mine told me) that in older ubuntu versions there was an
icon on one of the panels which opens a window on we could configure a
wireless conection, but I never tried it, because I already had the
conection configured and ready to use (that friend helped me). But
now, I made a clean instal of ubuntu and lost the configuration. And I
need to conect my ubuntu instalation to the web...
Can someone help me with this? Is there any key stroke which lets me
go to that icon? I already tried CTRL+Alt+Tab to go to the panels, but
once in the panels I'm neither able to activate the icons, nor able to
go out of the panel, after pressing enter on an icon trying to
activate it...
Many thanks in advance, for any kind of help!
