    Re: Restoring Kubuntu to it's former glory

    no I must have accidentally fully removed some because trying to install wicd, wicd-daemon, python-wicd, wicd-gtk, and wicd-curses tells me I have 609 kb that needs downloaded

          If anyone else finds this:

          If you need to connect via konsole:

          if you have network-manager, you need to stop it
          sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager stop

          if you have wicd or no gui for cnnection, you can just start here:

          sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
          iwlist wlan0 scanning <-- you only need to do this if you have no idea what your essid is called from your router
          sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid linksys (replace linksys with whatever your router's essid is)
          dhclient wlan0

          If you have encrytpion turned on from your router,
          append the iwconfig line with key like this

          sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid (your essid) key (then your key)

          then

          dhclient wlan0
