Re: No Internet

A lot of folks find that wicd does a better job of handling wireless connectivity -- here's how to remove knetworkmanager and install wicd: http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/inde...opic=3112334.0

Re: No Internet

Open a terminal and type

lscpi

In the list if you see "realtek" then you might need another driver other than the one that came with kubuntu.

Mine did a similar thing where the interface showed up BUT it did not see any networks. I will add the following info in case you do so you don't have to wait for another response:

If you see "realtek" for your wilreless, you will have to go to this and add the ppa repo to kpackagekit to your sources.

and hard wire LAN to add the rtl8192se-dkms package.

killall -9 knetworkmanager
sudo service network-manager stop
sudo rmmod rtl8192se
sudo rm /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y install rtl8192se-dkms
sudo depmod -a 
sudo modprobe rtl8192se
sudo service network-manager start

Then go to the Kmenu >> system >> networkmanager

You should be able to connect. If not, reboot and try.

I thought this was ironed out in the last few upgrades, but maybe it hasn't. I left the ppa enabled and I am still using the above version of the driver because it works.

You will find it will go "down" on occasion

 
sudo rmmod rtl8192se
sudo modprobe rtl8192se
