I am not sure if I understood your reply correctly.

In pbterm I ran:
/ebrmain/bin/netagent connect
and received

netagent called with parameters <connect>

I did not obtain any menu to choose which WiFi access point. But I do not obtain this when connecting with the WiFi connect button either. I obtain this menu only when I forget to switch the WiFi on.

I ran in pbterm ifconfig
and did not obtain any output - I think I am not connected after using above command to start the netagent in pbterm.

To be on the safe side I did manually connect via the WIFI button
and ran (after seeing the WIFI icon in the upper right corner) ifconfig again. Output:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr AC:A2:13:9F:19:5E
inet addr:192.168.1.116 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

So I think the netagent connect command does not seem to connect me to the WiFi.
