no wireless after linuxmce

[rthuey]

hi
so i had a perfect install of 7.10 on an old machine i had laying around
networkmanager and wireless worked fine
then i installed linuxmce and i think that went fine as well

now when i go back into kubuntu networkmanager was not there. i tried to run it from the console and it said i needed to install it. i did.
now when i click on it i do not see the list of wireless available. added my connection manually but it does not.

also to note that this is like the 20th attempt to configure both of these on this machine. in previous attempts i did not have this issue. other ones but not this.

suggestions

Re: no wireless after linuxmce

so i started system from live cd and i can connect to my wireless.

what i would like to try is to shorten my network interface file to

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

which is what is on the live cd and mentioned in several threads. but when i make the changes and try to save i get no write access message.
i tried getting to the file while in live cd but it said i did not have access to the drive that has the file.

what is the proper way of doing this?
