    Im getting frustrated

    The problem is, i cant get my wlan work right. Ive tried all methods i could find with google, but none of them have worked out for me. Ive reinstalled my ubuntu like 5 times in past three days. Now i decided to try kubuntu, but it doesnt look so bright for me.
    It does not connect to my router no matter what encryption i use. Even without encryption at all. Im using linksys wmp54g which uses rt61 driver. I think the driver is ok, as iwconfig says:

    Code:
    niila@niila-desktop:~$ iwconfig
    lo    no wireless extensions.
    
    eth0   no wireless extensions.
    
    ra1    RT61 Wireless ESSID:"linksys" Nickname:""
         Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462 GHz Bit Rate=54 Mb/s
         RTS thr:off  Fragment thr:off
         Link Quality=100/100 Signal level:-33 dBm Noise level:-108 dBm
         Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
         Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0  Missed beacon:0
    Btw, i dont understand why is it called ra1 instead of ra0. Anyway, this is what lsmod |grep rt tells me.

    Code:
    niila@niila-desktop:~$ lsmod |grep rt
    parport_pc       36388 1
    parport        36936 3 ppdev,lp,parport_pc
    rt61         245128 1
    agpgart        35400 1 ati_agp
    So it looks like the driver is OK. Agree?

    Knetworkmanager could not connect to my router. So i downloaded kwlan and crossed my fingers, but no, all buttons and fields were greyed out, except essid field. So much for that joy.

    Heres what sudo ifup ra1 says:

    Code:
    niila@niila-desktop:~$ sudo ifup ra1
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    RTNETLINK answers: File exists
    run-parts: /etc/network/if-up.d/avahi-autoipd exited with return code 2


    Every single computer in my house (with windows) works like a dream, so whats up with my kubuntu?

    Re: Im getting frustrated

    are you using any encryption? knetworkmanager is broken for WPA. try turning off encryption and MAC address filtering via the router. i have a rt61 pci card and got it to work on edgy and feisty using this link on ubuntu forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=296822. it is was written for edgy but should still apply for feisty.

    good luck....keep trying...that's how i learned alot about linux.
