Hello,
I am a complete newbie of Lxde. I have installed it with debian on an old laptop. Everything was working very well, but after I tried using a wifi dongle I started having some problems. At the beginning wired network worked fine, but not the wifi, so I tried installing the gnome network manager hoping I would be able to put it on the panel and, although I didn't manage, wired network was still working (no wifi though). Then I installed lxnm and the monitor plugin (the ones in the repositories), but after that I could neither do wifi nor cable (even after manually executing the py scripts) and I could not find anything to put on the panel, for an easy, no script, management. So now I am stuck with a computer with no connection whatsoever
What should I do?
I have no problems with scripts, although I am not so literate to manage things all by myself (i.e. I need step by step instructions, otherwise I might get a bit lost), but I would like to have some network manager (both wifi and wireless) that would start automatically on startup and something with a gui to select the network and input the passwords (a la gnome network manager) because this computer will mainly be used by very inexperienced users.
Cheers

lxnm was removed from Debian quite a while ago.

Also you might try ceni from sidux. You should only need ceni and iw.

ceni
iwDescription: Curses interface to /etc/network/interfaces
A Curses user interface for configuring network interfaces with ifupdown.
Ceni can manage basic network interface ifupdown configuration stanzas for
ethernet and wireless devices.
http://sidux.com/debian/pool/main/c/cen ... 10_all.debDescription: tool for configuring Linux wireless devices
This package contains the `iw' tool which allows you to configure and show
information about wireless networking.
In the future iw will become the canonical command line tool for wireless
configuration and iwconfig/wireless-tools will no longer be required. See
/usr/share/doc/iw/README.Debian for a more detailed overview of iw.
