wireless

[helane]

knetworkmanager or kwifimanager - what is a second one? i simply exit 
them through the graficvinterface or have to write something in 
terminal? i am completely new to linux... have no idea what i am doing. :)

OK. I am in wlassistant. i see two networks - one mine - which means 
that a card works i guess.
how did i configure it though?
i am on a shared wireless network - have only a key and a password...
