I can't click on the wireless tab or anything.

Not much to go on. Please tell us about your system, and specifically, what ethernet controller you have in your rig, and whether you use a router (and if so, what brand/model).

K > Applications > Internet > KNetworkManager (IIRC) - right-click and mark to show/add to System Tray.

Re: Unable to set up a wireless connection

Got it! I re-installed Kubuntu 9.10, installed all the updated bug fixes and the one thing i didn't do before is install the hardware updates for my built in wireless blutooth(k>applications>System>Hardware Drivers). Also before i think i un-installed the Knetwork Plasma Widget so i couldn't get to it but i have everything ready to go. Thanks for the Help!!
