Hi there,
I have a new Kubuntu installation on my laptop. At the beginning everything worked fine. However, after a while I started getting "no secrets were provided" when connecting to some WiFi networks. I tried fixing it in different ways and now at the Icon at the bottom there are no WiFi networks anymore. After a lot of tweaking including removing and re-installing network manager and many other things I tried (rfkill, dmesg, /etc/network/interfaces config and more), I got the point where:
1. wicd-curses works fine. It always worked fine, finds the netwroks and connects perfect.
2. I connected another USB Wifi dongle and that works fine both on KDE GUI and wicd-curses
3. Another problem is that after connecting to wicd-curses, KDE seems not to route to the right interface. I can see that I'm connected and ifconfig shows a proper IP but any attempt to browse or use any client (FireFox, Chromium, email, etc) says there is no network connected. Is there a way of telling the system to use a certain interface? Am I missing something?
So I'm stuck with the KDE that seems to like only a certain kind of network card, but the original wifi seems to be installed (since it works with wicd and worked before on KDE too).
Note: I haven't changed any drivers or Kernel stuff. Any ideas?
Thanks
