No wireless on KDE 3.5.?

[JonPiper]

I just reinstalled Kubuntu and Ubuntu on my laptop. I have been using KDE since
version 0.1 (I think 1998) and decide I wanted to give Gnome a serious try. I have
been using every version of Kubuntu since 6.04.

I installed Ubuntu 8.04.2 (64 bit) and then installed the KDE 3.5 desktop; it would
not install the Gnome desktop from Kubuntu 8.04.1. It works great -- except -- no
wireless on KDE! It does not show the icon applet in the system tray that indicates a
connection. It always connects automatically when connected to the ethernet cable. I
tried connecting through Wireless Lan Manager but it will not connect. iwconfig
showed everything normal. System Setting - Network Setting shows that the connection
is OK. When I go to Gnome, it connects to wireless automatically just like KDE used
to. I do not know the name of the connection applet so I can check the installation.

Can any supply the name of the internet connection applet in KDE 3.5 so I can
install it? Thanks.

KNetworkManager is what I use to handle all my connections. You should already have it. It should be listed in the "internet" tools in the K Menu.

If you don't have it, I'd say it's a safe bet that's it's in the repositories.

Thanks divide0. Unfortunately, tried that -- won't connect except in Gnome - thats what I am using now. I think I've got a conflict but don't have a clue what it is.

Tried KDE this evening and the wireless icon showed up in the panel but would not connect. ifconfig shows a connection.

I'd appreciate any ideas.
