I will review the wifi issue first. In order to enable Wireless support, in my case, i ran the Mepis Network Assistant tool located at the Kmenu ->System> MEPIS. Then i enabled the automatic knetworkmanager from the general tab of Mepis Network Assistant tool. After clicking on the apply button, you would be able to see the knetworkmanager applet that looked like a plug-and-a-socket object appearing near to the famous Kweather applet.
Then, configuring your wifi card or even wired ethernet card would be easy. I am glad to say that this is the first Linux distro that i managed to connect using WPA-PSK without extra tweaking ! There was also no need to alter/add any scripts. Well, i am truly impressed ! If it was WEP, i wouldn't be that impressed. What Warren claimed was correct. The networkmanager had been polished in
SimplyMEPIS 32 beta 6. It even worked while i was in the livecd state !
You can choose which enryption you need. Nobody in my neighbourhood
uses WEP. It's WPA-PSK for everybody ! I am talking about home users !
The screenshot below showed connection in progress.
The wpa-psk connection to my Prolink H93000G wifi router was succesful.
