Wireless issues possibly solved...

[jbaerbock]

If anyone has problems connecting to some networks then you may want to try what I did. I have been fighting with problems connecting to hotspots for awhile now, don't know if it is my card or what but regardless. My card is a Broadcom AirForce One and got it working via ndiswrapper GUI driver installation. When I tried to connect to some networks it would sit there hanging at 25%, configuring network interface. Well I have been messing around with wireless interface modes and got my problem solves. For some reason wireless manager is defaulted at managed mode, well apparently this does not cut it for my connection needs. I went into the terminal and typed: sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode auto

And amazingly this worked so hey I am now in business. So conclusion is if you have problems connecting try this! :-D

another way around this is to run

sudo apt-get remove kwalletmanager

. There is an issue with the two connecting properly if running WPA.

When I try: "sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode auto" I get:
"Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; No such device."
