I'm sure this has been answered somewhere. Use search or try this:
ifconfig wlan0 up
then use wicd to setup wireless or manually through iwconfig and ifconfig

for me i had to open a terminal and type:
wicd

then i went through the BT menu >> Internet >> Wicd to get it to open

That is quite an understatment. Here is a funny spoon feed:

READ THE SECTION DESCRIPTIONS!!!!

This is not the place to ask on how to do something but for HOWTO's explaining howto do some stuff.

For the fifth time today I think:

The post above yours.

It's OK.
I read all topic so try some command

 adtechniques@Xpc:~$ iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

wmaster0  no wireless extensions.

wlan0     IEEE 802.11bg  ESSID:""
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.412 GHz  Access Point: Not-Associated
          Tx-Power=0 dBm
          Retry min limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr=2352 B
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality:0  Signal level:0  Noise level:0
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

then i try

 adtechniques@Xpc:~$ sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
[sudo] password for adtechniques:
adtechniques@Xpc:~$ sudo ifconfig wlan0 mode managed
mode: Unknown host
adtechniques@Xpc:~$ sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode managed
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
    SET failed on device wlan0 ; Device or resource busy.

Here, i don't know what messege mean? Anybody can explaind?

I try another command

adtechniques@Xpc:~$ /usr/bin/start-network
Starting Network connection manager: wicd failed!

How to fix, search "Google", and try

 sudo wicd -foe

it's work.

Now, you can use wicd to choose connect wifi network or use command. Read more here
