I've had the same problem as ecube. Not only with this version, also with Barry's Karmic Puppy. Jaunty Puppy worked out of the box.
With EeePc 900, Celeron, driver ath5k, wlan with wpa.
Running network wizard, I got "libreadline.so.6 missing".
After installing libreadline6_6.0-5_i386.pet from ttuuxxx (thank you ) i got "Failed to connect to wpa_supplicant - wpa_ctrl_open: No such file or directory".
Now I tried the commands, suggested by playdayz
Now got the message, that libnl.so.1 was missing. I found libnl.so.1.1 in Barry's Jaunty Puppy (476?), copied and a symlink for libnl.so.1. Running last command again. It was accepted but no wlan.# ifconfig wlan0 up
# iwlist wlan0 scan
# wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
Now running network wizard again and it worked .
OK, I did a lot more, installing other versions of wpa_supplicant, wpa_gui and so on, a lot of symlinks and a lot of commands. At least the steps above work.
Hope this helps to find out, what's wrong
Now I can try the rest of this good looking version
