KUbuntu 10.4,
=
Failing to get wifi to connect to access point. It can see APs, but
fails to get dhcp via command mode, & fails connect with wicd.
=
It has been suggested (on KUbuntu list?) to remove the KU network
manager package, & that might get wicd & console command wifi working.
Previously, I was told that there is more networking success if one
installs Ubuntu (not KUbuntu) [to get the Ubuntu/Gnome network manager
sw], then install KDE on top of that.
=
For a system that was installed as KUbuntu:
Might it be possible to use something like Debian "pinning" to hold back
the KU network manager package, & then install the Ubuntu NetworkManager
package? Guess I'd at least have to ad the Ubuntu repositories to
/etc/apt/sources.list.
There might also be another debian method to do this.
=
Being as Ubuntu is Debian based, is there some way to make this work?
=
I ran Debian from about 2000-2005, so haven't done pinning for a long
time.
=
Thanks :)
