    I have the same problem....

    The network manager can detect all the routers around me, including mine.

    I tell to to use a wap/wap2 with a simple password for my router. When It tries to connect there is a pop up asking/confirming the password 3 times then disappears. But doesnt work. For now Im stuck at a desk with the ethernet cable.

    This worked in 9.04... sigh

      i have tried the ethernet cable, change the active connection on the networkmanager and nothing....
      then, change again to wireless, reboot and then for 30 seconds, I'd have access with firefox.
      after that nothing.

      do i need a clean install?

        Get your wired connection working first, folow my instructions here.

        Then install WICD netowrk manager. That will get your wireless hopefully working.

            Are you using DHCP or a static IP?

              What's your wifi card? I had the same problem with an Intel WiFi Link 5300 but
              this seemed to fix it.
              Also, on my thinkpad firefox and thunderbird both set themselves to use ipv6 which stopped all internet activity dead in its tracks. about:config -> network.dns.disableIPv6 --- set to "true"

                    What kind of internet connection do you have? Are you connecting to a router, which is connected to a DSL or cable modem? If so, I would suggest rebooting those, first the modem then the router.

                          i have tried the karmic live cd in another desktop and i have the same problem,
                          could it be a problem with the configuration of the router?

                            I had the same problem. Before I was running 8.04 and had no problems. Went to 9.04 and bam no internet. I also had a broadcom card. I tried all these suggestions and then some but to no avail. I read somewhere, not sure if on here or maybe Broadcom's site but there were problems with broadcom cards and linux. So I went to Ebay and got an intel card for $11.00. Switch them out and It connected immediately. Then an update came through for knetwork manager and I had no wireless again. Found out about wicd and installed it and have been happy ever since until I tried Karmic alpha4 I believe and wicd 1.5.9 didn't work well with it. Had to plug wired in and went to wicd site http://wicd.sourceforge.net/download.php , added "deb http://apt.wicd.net jaunty extras" Changed Jaunty to Karmic and put this line "wget -q http://apt.wicd.net/wicd.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -" both without quotes in terminal to get the key. Did a reload, I use synaptic, to get the latest version 1.6.2.2-1 and it works great now. I really don't think it's your router. I also tried different ones and it was the same problem.

                            PS: I remember where I got the info about broadcom. It was the pclinux site because I was experimenting with that OS at one time. It's a nice distro but prefer Kubuntu.
