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 wpa-psk connection to my Prolink H93000G wifi router was succesful.
