Re: Kubuntu Internet

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
# iwconfig ath0 essid my-network
# dhclient ath0
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.

Re: Kubuntu Internet

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)

Re: Kubuntu Internet

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...

Re: Kubuntu Internet

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

Re: Kubuntu Internet

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.

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.
