I'm currently booting off of a x86_64 live CD, and everything works great. It automatically connects to a wireless network, which is handy, except for one thing... it's not mine, Mine is secured. So, I go into the networking tool in Gnome, And promptly notice that the wifi is apparently unconfigured, and disabled. So, I enable it, enter in my info, and then... no connection. I try disabling the wifi again to see if it'll work, but no luck. Any ideas on how I can connect to my own network? (I haven't actually installed yet, because I want to make sure everything will work before I do that)
