OSU wifi problems

I am attempting to get onto the wireless at tOSU and am having serious problems with it. It appears as though my AA! (factory version, running linpus lite) can not connect using the proper protocols (wpa). The OSU site about linux connection helps in no way (http://8help.osu.edu/2672.html).

Could somebody please tell me what to type in the terminal to be able to access that network (or will the debian package work)?

 

Maybe this will help:

You might have to follow the steps in another post here to update NetworkManager.

 

I followed the advice in another thread and now no longer can accsess the internet on the acer, is there any way to get this on a thumb drive and run it off of that?
