Re: new install

I don't know what sort of wireless you have...Broadcom, etc..... But try this. Down on the bar at the bottom right of your desktop, you should see your connection icon, probably showing no connection right now. Right click on it and choose, "Manage Connections." Then, you can click on the "Wireless" tab...and click "Add Connection." That should open a box for you, if your wireless card is recognized....and you can scan for your wireless router. You should see your router by name. Then, make sure, if it's a locked wireless router, that you go to the Security tab and mark your type of security and enter your passcode. Also, you might want to make sure you check the box to always activate the connection. You'll be asked to "Always Allow," which you'll probably want to mark. You can choose a password, or leave it blank, whichever you prefer, when it wants you to set up KWallet for the connection.

If that doesn't work, you might want to post what sort of wireless card you have.
