Hi,
I have a problem with my Knetwork manager, the description is a little bit long...
I installed kubuntu 8.10 few days ago and tested the wifi connection with two different encripted access point without any problem.
Today I tried to connect to an ADSL network, I did the same as I did with my kubuntu 8.04 version (that worked perfectly):
1) first connect to the network via a WPA key
2) run pppoeconf
I got my wonderfull IP address in DHCP and apparently the operation was successfull (plog gave the same output as the former kubuntu version). However, even if ifconfig and iwconfig seemed to be ok, I could no connect to internet.
A small hint could be that the command
with kubuntu 8.04 was straightforward while now does not accept the autocompletion with the tab key and requires the sudo.
I then played a little bit with the settings and read tons of posts in order to try to understand what was happened but the result is that I probably messed up the configuration. The sad result is that now Knetwork does not even see the available networks around (here the access point are not present but only ADSL).
If I run
I can see that a couple of ADSL connections are there but Knetwork does not see anything and apparently does not allow me to do anything, the icon is a green world and not the vertical blue bar showing the power of the connection.
I would be happy to at least restore the original situation and then, maybe, retry the ADSL connection. I'm now connected with my father's WindowsXP laptop and can not accept his jokes anymore... >
As usual, thanks in advance and have a nice evening,
g.
