i have a samsung NP-N130 netbook that i put kubuntu 9.10 netbook version on, and my problem is that the wireless does not work..if i click on the internet icon in the top panel it DOES have a checkmark in the "enable wireless" box but if i go to the system settings where it shows all the types of network connections the wireless option is greyed out so i cant click on it. i do beleive i have the atheros nic because i typed in a certain command in the terminal it shows the info for the nic and it's atheros, this is quite different from when i installed the regular ubuntu on my netbook as that one did not have any option for wireless at all so i know that kubuntu is detecting the nic and driver but for some reason its not working. I also once opened blacklist-ath_pci.conf file in the nano editor and when it opened the first time it said that "the nic and driver were detected but for some reason not loaded and then it just went into a state that it could not recover from' thats kind of a paraphrase of the message but it was along those lines. i believe that kubuntu will work better on my netbook than all the other distro i've tried if i could just get this network problem solved..any help i would appreciate it.
thank you
