Yet again I am totally confused trying to get a WiFi connection to work. The real problem is that I don't really understand what the Network panel applet is supposed to do for me. Is there any good HowTo or similar for this applet?

OK, I've fired-up the Debian box and though I know there is a network lurking out there, I can't see any way to conjure details - not even calling-up Notwork Tools.
Sorry.
No doubt there'll be Someone Who Knows[TM] along soon.
Not I, sadly! It just worked on the Debian laptop that uses Gnome. Sometimes hibernating confuses things, but restarting the NetworkManager and applet services shows networks again. I think once I had to debug the underlying wifi with iwconfig, but on some strange pub network I'd not used before. At least it's possible.
Good luck!
