Hi Andrew Sorry to hear about the politics--hope we can get the computer working at least!
OK, network manager should look a bit like this: http://www.gnome.org/projects/NetworkManager/images/wireless-at-tealuxe.png Click on the icon to get the menu. I think you may have to have your wired connection unplugged for the wireless to show up, but then you should just be able to select the right wireless network. If you have security, it will ask you for a password, and then (assuming the wireless has DHCP too, and they generally do) it should just work.
