Hi!
This morning I wake-up thinking about install LXDE in my PC. Well now install the package lxde (sudo apt-get install lxde) and when I startup the session with LXDE, I don't have internet.
And my question is, How can configure a network wi-fi in lxde?.
Well this all, thaks for your atention and sorry for my poor English

Try wicd or NetworkManager: both of these are commonly used.
