From normal Squeeze repos, wpagui works better here than knetworkmanager ever did. It is qt4 but will not also install half of kde4 as deps. I use "apt-get install no-install-recommends wpagui"
Interesting. I got it installed but it wouldn't find my wifi interface. The manual setup I already understood from past experience using a laptop without X (back in the days of Etch). Of course, it matters not what I can do for myself, but this machine is a demo model for Linux newbies migrating from Windows. I'm not willing to put them through manual wifi config that way. I suppose I should have mentioned that in my initial whine ;-)
Oh yes, we need to pull in the newbies. TDE isn't a fully polished product yet, though, but we are working out some major issues via our development version. Unfortunately that may be awhile and KDE3/TDE are IMO the best ones for newbies. You may be able to get away with a distro that uses KDE 3.5.10 until we can make a new release.
