I chose to use Wicd as I was having problems connecting with Debian, Ubuntu, Dreamlinux and Fedora.
From the Wicd Sourceforge site:
- No Gnome dependencies (although it does require GTK), so it is easy to use in XFCE, Fluxbox, Openbox, Enlightenment, etc.
- Ability to connect to wired and wireless networks
- Profiles for each wireless network and wired network
- Many encryption schemes, some of which include WEP/WPA/WPA2 (and you can add your own)
- Remains compatible with wireless-tools
- Tray icon showing network activity and signal strength
So if you have problems with Network-Manager and NmApplet, try wicd, it worked better for me with wep and wpa wireless connections.
