KDE 4 and Wireless

[jairamsa]

Hello

I have managed to install KDE 4, but there are three problems

a) KWifiNetwork was not installed with the core ?
(resolved by hooking laptop up to wired LAN

b) Once KWifiNetwork is installed any WEP access point, I cannot configure as the
configure button is disabled.

c) Why does the Wireless networking not pick up the built in Wireless card?

I look forward to responses

cat /etc/network/interfaces

Re: KDE 4 and Wireless

if i have gnome installed also, can i download the wifi manager though that? its very strange that such a common feature wouldent be included in the core.

Re: KDE 4 and Wireless

ifconfig
