I don't understand how you can ask for help on how to use complicated tools just because you don't like the easier one....
I believe that network management is only integrated to Gnome and XFCE and knetwork management must be installed for use in KDE, I think it is used as an applet for the desktop, while the use E16 is more limited. That would be GNU / Linux if we are left with only a single way of doing things, the variety is success. I am also very curious and I like seeing things under the table! ;-) In my experience, you'll need to force TKIP operation to prevent initial usage of CCMP, which is not currently supported. I am the network administrator, what type of security is better to works with Debian GNU/Linux? Could change it WPE, WPA Personal AES or another. Thanks for your answers, sorry for my bad english, I cant find active listings in Spanish for Debian PowerPC. In my blog I try to translate and documenting all about this port and my experience.
