Hye all,
i am actually using the internet now via my kubuntu machine. via wireless infact.
my issue is that it is a genuine saga just to get connected each time whether eth or wlan.
i am using my nb at uni, work, home, parents etc so need to be able to change networks easily
have tried various network managers and have run into trouble with each of them and none consistently allow me to connect even to the last network i was connected to.
apologies if this is a vary vague dilema and am aware and scared of the prospect that this is simply a drawback of linux. but if anyone can suggest a configuration or reinstall with corret drivers or some other novel thing i would very much appreciate it.
my w'less card details are as follows:
05:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Network Connection (rev 61)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Unknown device 1100
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 18
Memory at 8c100000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
Capabilities: [c8] Power Management version 3
Capabilities: [d0] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit+ Queue=0/0 Enable-
Capabilities: [e0] Express Endpoint IRQ 0

It's part of the learning process. I have had spotty results with another laptop with Broadcom wireless. Some of the same things you are describing, sometimes it works, sometimes not. All for no apparent reason. I have had better success on my new laptop with an Atheros wireless card.
