Xubuntu now uses NetworkManager to manage network connections. NetworkManager attempts to make the process of connecting invisible, whilst allowing finer manual control where necessary.
Many security protocols are supported: WEP, WPA/WPA2, WPA-Enterprise/WPA2-Enterprise, 802.1x, VPN
NetworkManager also keeps passwords secure by utilising the user's keyring to store passphrases.

NetworkManager is the little icon in the system notification area in the top right of your screen. It looks like two over-lapping computer screens or four colored or grey stepped bars (when connected wirelessly).
