After the recent switch to the Ubuntu code base, Freespire has restarted their development process with the first alpha release of Freespire 2.0: "Freespire version 2.0 Alpha1U (1.2.42) is now available for download." The new release uses the latest Linux kernel 2.6.20, X.Org 7.2 and KDE 3.5.6, but many Freespire-specific features have yet to be implemented.

We don't need a forum full of people whining about how an alpha release isn't working unless they are willing to file detailed bug reports.
Well, then just never visit the Freespire forums, because this community seems to attract the whiners in droves. So your wireless isn't working. Is the adapter detected? Can you bring it up via iwconfig and dhclient? Did you try installing a vanilla kernel? Oh... you don't know how to do any of this!--Then why did you install an alpha build?
This is software debugging, not overclocking. You can't just go and get the very latest stuff and brag about how it POSTs at 4.2 GHz with the phase change system you bought. You actually need to have some skills and/or the desire to learn stuff.

Actually, unless you are a developer or willing to help debut it, don't put it anywhere.
