Enter Mode.
Enter Channel number.

Enter additional parameters if necessary.Penguin>Network/Internet>Netwo… card configuration
You should see two entries, one for the internal lan card, the other for the wireless lan card; wlan0
Click on wlan0
Enter DHCP broadcast IP if needed. If you use static DHCP, leave it blank.
Enter broadcast address. I believe the default should do.
Enter NetMask. I believe the default should do.
Enter the default Gateway.

You should see that the Wireless card is active and you are either hooked up to a network or that networks are in range. You’re IP hookup may be different (DHCP versus static), so play with it a bit.
Start a browser and see if it works.
