wlassistant on Intrepid: when available?

[padlan]

The wireless wizard 'wlassistant' is not in the Intrepid Repositories and I found this:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source.../+build/571561
"hppa build of wlassistant 0.5.7-2 in ubuntu intrepid RELEASE
Changes file:not available
Archive: ubuntu archive
Component:universe
Status: Failed to build
Queued: 2008-04-29
Started: 2008-09-10
Builder: kohnen (hppa)
Build log: buildlog_ubuntu-intrepid-hppa.wlassistant_0.5.7-2_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz
Finished: 2008-09-10 (took 14 minutes)"

So it "failed to build" - is that correct? When may this be remedied?

I cannot answer your question about when it comes (or not), but why do you need it?

I also used wlanassistant under Hardy since I could not (for some reason or the other) make KNetworkManager work. However under Intrepid the KNetworkManager works perfectly for me. Have you tried it, and what does not work is so?

Best,

Bitnissen: Thank you for your input. I had never used NetworkManager on Hardy, only wlassistant. Your response pushed me to look for networkmanager and, lo and behold! it recognizes my built-in wireless and connects me flawlessly to the Internet. You learn something new every day!
