I got wireless working following a forum post. The steps needed are below but the solution isn't perfect and doesn't explain why wireless works using the Live CD but not after installation.

wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/37387612/rtl8192sfw.bin.gz
gunzip rtl8192sfw.bin.gz
sudo mkdir /lib/firmware/RTL8192SU
sudo mv rtl8192sfw.bin /lib/firmware/RTL8192SU/
sudo depmod -a or reboot
sudo service network-manager restart

The main problem now is that after every reboot I have to run "sudo service network-manager restart" for wireless to work.
