Can't get my wifi connection to work

[valla2]

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

Do you have any idea what the problem might be?

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!!
