One Minor Issue

[kanwar07]

So after successfully installing and dual booting Kubuntu with XP on my desktop, my project for today has been to get the wirless working.

My wireless card is a DLINK DWL-G132 USB card. I spent the majority of today working with it, and I FINALLY got Kubuntu to recognize wlan0.

My only problem now is it keeps asking me for the network key. I have installed wpa_supplicant through the Package Manager, but it keeps asking me....

Anyone know of a solution? And does anyone know of a guide that can list the steps to get this wireless card working, just so I can check against it for any missed steps? I've been throwing so many commands into Kubuntu I wouldnt' even be able to backtrack and write the steps I took down.

I hope to get a response soon,
kanwar.

Go to System Settings then Network Settings then Network Management - Wireless ans set up your
wireless connection.

Thank you for the response. I have tried to do that but it keeps asking me to enter the network passcode, even though I have entered it many times. Should I post the readout from ndiswrapper -l or ifconfig or the message dump?

Did you Set up The correct WEP key. 9.04 uses kde wallet to store passwords.

I believe so. After alot of messing around I decided to uninstall network manager and install Wicd. I also decided to disable the encryption on my network for the time being (the signal is so weak no one could steal it anyways).

So right now I am typing from my Kubuntu install with wireless internet. All is well. Thanks GilGib for your posts.
