I want to use window maker as my main wm but I can't get my wifi to work in it. When I try sudo dhclient wlan0 to connect via dhcp, i get this in the terminal:
twitch@twitch-laptop ~ $ sudo dhclient wlan0
[sudo] password for twitch:

...done.
I can't connect to any networks, regardless whether or not they're protected.
What should I do? I hate having to boot into gnome every time I want to access the internet.:mad:

Towards the bottom of this link: http://www.nabble.com/Windowmaker-and-NetworkManager-td21703297.html there seems to be a solution for you.
