What exactly is the problem? It sounds like it is functioning correctly,
so maybe you don't know how to get it to connect. Best thing I can say
without more information is that you open up the terminal and run:

	sudo aptitude install network-manager-gnome

Then restart the computer. After logging in again you should have a new
icon in the top-right of your screen. Have a fiddle with it and see if
you can get the network working.
