For me, wireless connection always works in Lubuntu, but not in
Trinity, even using wicd. It fails to validate a correct password, be
it with WEP or WPA. Using a 2-WIRE modem. Is there a prefix that I
need to include in the password? Or disable some daemon process?
(BTW, went back to Lubuntu 11.10, then was able to install and
activate Trinity desktop.)

Wireless connection - an apparent solution.
In /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections I found a file 2WIRE048,
which had been created when networking in Lubuntu:
<quote>
[connection]
id=2WIRE048
uuid=[modem's uuid number]
type=802-11-wireless
[802-11-wireless]
ssid=2WIRE048
mode=infrastructure
mac-address=[modem's mac-address]
security=802-11-wireless-security
[802-11-wireless-security]
key-mgmt=none
wep-key0=[10 digit WEP key]
[ipv4]
method=auto
[ipv6]
method=auto
</quote>
I copied this into a new file named 2WIRE[number], then filled in the
appropriate id, ssid, mac-address, and wep-key0 (which in this case is
wpa2-key0). The uuid didn't seem to matter, but maybe best to find
and use it.
Then ran wicd, which used the new file and connected successfully.
NOTE: in wicd click on the network's Properties, then the Information
button to get mac-address and encryption type.
