Could you please tell us what wireless network card you are using so I could see if WPA is supported for your card and how to get that setup if it is?

Hi offpister
if you want to configure it by hand checkout the answer at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/11629, you should change the interface from eth0 to whatever is correct for you. if you don't know which one is, you could identify by executing the iwconfig command.

should looks something like:

wlan0 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"" Nickname:""
          Mode:Managed Access Point:
          RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Link Quality=0/100 Signal level=-256 dBm Noise level=-256 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

you could also try to use network-manager.

hope this helps.
