Hello,
I have tried both the Kubuntu 8.04 with kde3 and 4 on amd64 (toshiba satellite). Here is what I did on each installation (I tired kde4 first and gave up due to tray bugs).
1. I have blacklisted ath_pci
2 Downloaded the windows driver
3. Used the ndiswrapper to install the driver - net5221,inf
4. I included the ndiswrapper to be loaded on each boot event and it is loaded just fine on each boot up.
I use kwifimanager to look for networks. A couple of times I could see the networks around me, and I even was able to switch to my wifi linksys router. However, I could never establish a connection, even though the iwconfig showed rx and tx packets.
I am at a loss to where the problem could be. I usually use gentoo and configure my wifi in a text configuration file. I am trying kubuntu, and I don't know how to configure the network. Should I use the gui interface? What log files can help me?
I am very happy with most aspects of the kubuntu system, however, I am at a loss.
So far I have read and followed most posts on the forum as well as some .de google results. Please shove me in a right direction, even if it could actually be left.
