    I think you can easily setup the internet connection manually by following these simple steps:
    1.First set up the wireless network on your Linux system then go to network manager and finally select the encryption (WEP or WPA) and enter your pass key. Now you are connected to the network and now you can surf the web with wireless internet connection.
