Indeed I can already connect to open and WEP/WPA networks without
patching, using the wheezy kernel.
Remember to actually enable the Wi-Fi card's radio by pressing the
appropriate Fn+F-key combination (you have to do this on every boot).
You may see output in the kernel log when this is toggled.
I simply use network-manager in X. I'm using XFCE so I use the
network-manager-gnome front-end. After enabling radio, it notices this
and automatically connects to a preconfigured network if in range.
wicd also works, but is less good.
