My wireless is acting really odd.
Keep in mind that in all of these scenarios, I am able to log into the wire systems using windows.
1) When I'm at home, I can link to my Kubuntu wireless no problem. Skype, dropbox etc work fine. However, when I start up any browser (firefox chrome) I get a few pages into clicking around and the browsers crash repeatedly.
2) When I'm at the University in the library, the Kubuntu wireless gets hung up on the 'obtaining IP address stage' (like I said before, wireless on windows works fine). Obviously I have no wireless at all.
3) When I'm at my office (at the University) the wireless works great on Kubuntu - no issues whatsoever (I'm on the same named network - but obviously a different wireless transmitter because I'm 2000 ft away).
I'm using Wicd client for KDE. Any ideas? I'm getting really annoyed having to use Windows at home! I like to stay in a single operating system. Less clutter in my brain and file systems.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
