Hello

I have Kubuntu 7.04 and when i try and use the internet connection manager i know what its called it stays stook on 28% then stops connecting

Is this just my pc or is it a bug that i can get round please help

P.S: Here is the output this might help you

02:00.0 Network Controller: RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI
02:05.0 Ethernet Semiconductor co, Ltd. RTL - 8139/8139C/8139 C+ (rev 10)

I think its said (rev 10) I'm not sure and it is a linksys wmp54g it says on the instruction manual and kubuntu autodetected it

I've experienced this problem as well on (K)ubuntu. I solve it by hit-and-miss; sometimes I'll try connecting through the terminal with
Where ath0 is the name of your wireless device. Although this works, it tends to screw up Network Manager because it still thinks the device isn't connected. Sometimes I have to disable/re-enable the device and start all over again. Alternatively, try manual connection settings. It sometimes works for me.

I haven't looked into this issue any further on the web, but I suspect somewhere there's a bug filed, and (hopefully) a more reliable workaround.

yeah when I was installing ubuntu on my parents computer the wireless card refused to actually work. Try using wifi-radar. After a few tries it should start working...(or at least it started working for me)

When I installed ubuntu on my laptop, the wireless would not work for me either...I ended up using ndiswrapper and it worked fine for me...After reading the ubuntu forums it appears many people have had problems with wireless...

Yes, wireless is sometimes a bit broken on all ubuntu 7.04 based systems (they changed the way networkmanager works)

I got a realtek RT25something card and it worked under Edgy but not feisty or gusty

If it's a permanent problem, I would recommend removing the Network Manager scripts from the startup services. Then you can set up everything manually through the shell like I described in my first post. (And if you're really lazy, add those shell commands to your boot script).

You may also need to add/modify DNS information to your /etc/resolv.conf file to get the Internet working.

I AM ONLY 14! i only want linux to work so i can then mess around iwht it

Debians networking works just fine, ubuntu usually gets issues liike this as its based on beta software

>I AM ONLY 14! i only want linux to work so i can then mess around iwht it

Getting a supported wireless card to work is a pretty simple problem, if your not willing to edit one file then maybe linux is not for you.

If you give it to me step by step
