    Can't get my wifi connection to work

    I am on Kubuntu 7.10 and when i use KWifiManager to connect to my private network, it can find the network, but i cannot get an IP address ( it is "unavailable" ). I typed the name of the network correctly, and i also typed its passwod in the encryption field, but my IP is unavailable. I run

    dhcpcd -d -t 30 eth1
    as the root, and this is the output:

    Info, eth1: dhcpcd 3.0.17 starting
    Info, eth1: hardware address = 00:1b:77:c3:6f:25
    Info, eth1: broadcasting for a lease
    Debug, eth1: sending DHCP_DISCOVER with xid 0x63147326
    Debug, eth1: waiting on select for 30 seconds

    Debug, eth1: sending DHCP_DISCOVER with xid 0x63147326
    Error, eth1: timed out
    Info, eth1: exiting

    Do you have any idea what the problem might be?
    thanks...

    How do you connect wirelessly? PCI? PCMIA? USB?

    What is the make and model of your interface?

      Ok i got it to work with KNetworkManager! I think it's easier with KNetworkManager, there was no need to make KWifiManager in the first place

      thanks anyways

        I am also having problems connecting. I am "new" to Kubuntu and Linux wireless networking. Ihave my realtek onboard/USB 8187 installed via ndiswrapper. Using Knetworkmanager I can create the network and attempt to connect. It fails everytime. Any suggestions! Please!!
