Micha, I am running Dreamlinux (Debian Etch 4 w/xfce)
on my
Dell Inspiron laptop. Internet 
management has been a breeze with this system. 
I am using a Ralink wireless card monitored with the
Wavelan 
applet plugin.

Net packages that I find installed (by default) are
the following:
netapplet
netbase
netcat
net-tools
networkconf
wavmon
wireless-tools
wpasupplicant
xfce4-wavelan-plugin
xfce4-goodies

There may be other packages of significance due to 
dependencies, etc.

Automatic connection is being established consistently
with 
this setup.

HTHs a little. Best regards.
