My network card is dead...

[rumbaroy]

KNetwork Manager has stopped working, it shows no wireless networks, I've managed to set the configurations to "Manual", can't seem to set the settings back to Automatic, and when I click at the icon for KNetwork Manager down in the right corner, i get: "Device: No active device".

Please help me, I'm lost without wireless internet!

#noob recommendation: I would try to delete networkmanager config files if I knew there they are located

Great...anyone know where to find the config files? I've looked, and I deleted somehing I think was config, but nothing happened

I assume your wireless is known as eth1

Does entering

sudo ifup eth1

throw up any errors

Also what card are you using? what version of kubuntu. It may just be a case of reinstalling the drivers after a kernel update.

When I enter that code i get: Ignoring unknown interface eth1=eth1.

When I try sudo ifup eth0, I get this:

I use Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon, but I don't know what card I have...is that very relevant?
