    Kubuntu 9.10 on Dell 1501 Wireless problem

    I just installed kubuntu 9.10 but i can't connect to the internet with my wireless can't even scan any signal.
    It works with wired.

    I got the broadcom b43 wireless driver noticed but the downloading and installing always 0% ( with wired connected) and another
    problem is downloading and installing packages also 0%

    Any idea for my problems ?

    Thank you

    Can you connect to the internet with konqueror/firefox?

        I have the same laptop.

        Check to see what it named your wireless adapter. Mine was listed originally as wlan0 in wicd but I found my wireless had actually been assigned eth2. I just changed wicd to eth2 and all works fine now.

          Changing 'wicd to eth2' is a little too broad-brush for me to grasp. How exactly did you accomplish this change?
