If you can’t get the GUI applications working and your wifi attached to your router that is WPA/WPA2 enabled, then you can do it by hand. WPA_Supplicant is a command line utility that is incredibly easy to understand and use. Check your wifi adapter with the following command:
iwconfig
If your adapter requires some weird, obscure driver to function properly, and you know this, then shame on your for not submitting when i pleaded for people to submit drivers and applications to submit. Anyways, get the driver and install it. I have jam packed a lot of drivers into WNLAv4.1k, and I finally included madwifi-ng. To use it, simply do:
modprobe ath_pci
If you are using that driver and would like to load a different driver, say ath9k, do this:
rmmod ath_pci
modprobe ath9k
Once you have your driver of choice, follow the directions I have written out, with screenshots in the following tutorial:

I certainly Hope this finally helps those who are still having trouble.

thakyou for directing me to this link regarding wifi, however I use to connect to insecure open and public wifi network which alway not easy to connect to.
so the WPA_Supplicant is not the main issue, anyway I’m very happy with your’s liveCD using Rutilt tool to surf the internet and at moment I haven’t install to harddisk which if possible, I could be able to download your’s next liveCD with the latest version, maybe hopefully, you could willingly release x86_64 for most of us who’s have Intel64 or AMD64 and maybe hopefully that you will understand our need to utitlise our 64bits and the latest (debian release or Ubuntu release).
Thankyou
