On Maverick, you can use the Network admin tool which is, I believe, under
the administration menu. It is a bit buggy, though. You will need to
select the check next to Wireless to enable wi-fi. Then you will need to
enter your network info manually, and make sure you've checked 'Enable this
connection'. Second, once all your settings are entered, you will probably
have to restart your computer.
I've also noticed that, after enabling wifi and adjusting the settings, the
Network program will remove the check next to the Wireless connection, as
if it were disabled. Don't believe it! Just reset the computer, and I bet
you'll have a working connection.
Traditionally, Network Manager (the application used by vanilla Ubuntu) is
not installed on Ubuntu Studio because there have been some issues on
certain hardware with it interfering with audio applications. This might
not be the case for your set-up, and so you might want to install Network
Manager once you have a working connection. It will make things easier.
