[orca-list] Wireless networks [was "Re: ADRIANE Knoppix 6.7.0 have been released"]

[Christopher Chaltain <chaltain gmail com>]

I don't understand the instructions below. What application are you in
when you hit F10?

I'm running vinux 3.2.1, which is based on Ubuntu 11.04 and uses the
Gnome Classic desktop, and if I want to access a wireless network,I do
the following:

First, I press control+alt+tab until I hear something like "bottom
expanded edge panel". I then use the tab or shift+tab keys until I get
to "NM Applet Icon". At this point, I press the space bar to open the
menu and then down arrow until I hear the network I'm interested in.
Once I hear the network I want to connect to, I just hit the enter key.
