The default WLAN tool (right-clicking the networking icon in the taskbar) failed miserably). Instead had to use System/Administration/Network tool to edit the network setting and create a profile for the wireless connection.
I was only able to get it to work after enabling broadcast of the ssid in my wlan router (not nice) - I will fix this problem eventually.
After getting it to finally connect, I had the problem that I had to reconfigure the WLAN adapter EVERY time I rebooted the computer. This is how I fixed it:
It seems that the network interface need to be restarted during bootup (actually right after it has been started) so I created a script (/etc/init.d/wireless-network.sh) containg simply one row:
/etc/init.d/networking restart
I then chmod +x on the script and link it in the /etc/rcS.d/ dir with this command:
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/wireless-network.sh /etc/rcS.d/S41wireless-network
After that, the network has been fawless...
