You go to internet connection on your PS3 and you must have a Wireless modem or router. Then you must unplug the ethernet cable from the back of the PS3 because as long as it it connected the PS3 will not search for a wireless connection. When your PS3 begins the search it will first tell you that the ethernet cable is not available and then provide a list of WiFi connections it has discovered. I was able to use automatic to connect and if you have problems see the PlayStation Network site for troubleshooting internet connections.
