After that i have a icon in the taskbar but the icon has a little red cross over it. A clic on it, shows a menu in wich there is an item corresponding to my wifibox. But selecting this item do nothing; if i select the 'Edit connections...' item, a window is open showing my wifi box, but once again trying to edit these connections do nothing. Well, probably it is necessary to install another packages, but which?
Sounds like there's a driver issue going on there. That's not uncommon with wifi dongles on Linux. Can you run "lsusb" in the terminal (command line) and give us what it says?

Yep! For GNOME, do "apt-get install gnome". For KDE it'll be the same except "kde-full" or even "kubuntu-desktop" if you want several extra programs (including LibreOffice).

I'm not surprised -- 0.5.15 is 8 months old and a massive amount of changes have been made since then!
