With the wpa_supplicant and NetworkManager packages, WPA wireless is almost as easy as in Windows. I believe one of the reasons to delay the release was to test these bits more throughfully. I suppose both packages are avaliable in ppc; amd64 here.
By the way, since I miss those times reading his writtings on how sectors and clusters where organized by DOS, I've done some research on google about him. It seems Peter Norton is retired and he spends his time on a philanthropy fundation.
He sold his company to Symantec in the early 90's, and to me, it is scary and spooky to see that his image is still used to sell products that he's not related anymore. Like this Windows XP guidebook which, it seems, is written by 'contractors', but it is list under his own name. The "Peter Norton is not human" review is enlighting.
This biography says he's retired, but he's listed as director of this company, which business plan is "to focus on developing unrealized intellectual property in multiple markets" Frightening!
From the release notes: "The only difference between the two releases [1.2 vs 1.2.1] is the fix for this bug (Bug 182500)." And it was a DHTML bug, not a security bug.
