I installed the netbook remix release candidate on my eeepc and
connected to our wpa2 encrypted router by picking it from the network
manager icon and typing in the password - yes it was easy. I am very
pleased - the original Xandros desktop never connected to the wpa2
router, at least I never got it working.
I have used Intrepid and Hardy on a desktop with wireless but on those I
removed network manager so I can't comment if it's "improved" but it
would appear to be as easy as it ever can be.
