How do I Get a Wi-Fi Connection to Work With the Konquer Web Browser?

Konquer is a Web browser and file manager distributed with several Linux distributions including the popular Kubuntu desktop environment. Konquer is not responsible for handling the Web connection, and can operate on any web connection whether it is dial-up, Ethernet, LAN, or Wi-Fi. Problems with Konquer and Wi-Fi connections are associated with the networking software or the hardware issues. Basic network debugging ensures that Konquer is able to connect to available Wi-Fi connections.
