Assuming you already have a wireless modem ready: left click the icon for a connection and click on your network. A small panel will come up asking for your passphrase, fill it in and click connect. Should be ready to go.

The problem is not with your computer or network card, it is with the 2.6.32-5 Kernel which does not support your card. When SalineOS2 comes out in the near future this will be changed along with Wheezy.

Whoops, sorry, the following idea won't work, missing depends
I see there is a 3.2.0 header and image for both common and AMD64 in Synaptic. You might try that.

If you are bored enough, you can try to compile compat-wireless, and then make your own live media with remastersys

And welcome aboard

I'm having the wireless-doesn't-work problem too. Black screens in the little icon. When I expand the box, under "Wireless Networks" I see "device not ready (firmware missing)"

Here's the lcpi entry:
b:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02)

I don't think it's a kernel-doesn't-support-device problem: I'm running SalineOS 1.7.
uname -a gives me:
Linux spike 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Sun May 6 04:01:19 UTC 2012 i686 GNU/Linux

Any ideas?

Anthony's instructions for installing the 3.2 kernel work fine for me:
