Networking with Trinity on a laptop

I just bought my first laptop (really, my very first!). A refurbished Thinkpad T400. I'm days away from getting a working Linux based system, but I need to know how both wired/wireless networking is supported in Trinity. Mostly, how to easily toggle between wired and wireless. I plan to use both with the laptop. Do the main Trinity packages provide that support or do I have to add other network packages? Slackware handles networking differently from other distros, so this might be an opportunity to provide some meaningful (newbie) testing and debugging. :-) Thanks. :-) Darrell
