Assuming you have your wifi card working, the easiest way nin my opinion is to install wpa_supplicant and networkmanager/nm-applet
wpa_supplicant will look after your encryption and NetworkManager gives a nice interface and an automatic setup for it.

You are on Kubuntu ?
The package is network-manager-kde, you can install it from synaptic."To express yourself in freedom, you must die to everything of yesterday. From the 'old', you derive security; from the 'new', you gain the flow."
