What about a installing it on a non-minimal flavor of Ubuntu 12.10?

Code:

sudo nano -w /etc/network/interfaces

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless-essid   MYNETWOTK
wireless-key     FEFEFEFEFE
wireless-channel 11
wireless-mode    managed

Your wifi config shouldn't change too often so this may be a reasonable workaround.
