Does wifi work at all on ubuntu/kubutu ? I've tried many different 
configurations without any success (it was working all-right on Gentoo).
When I run /etc/init.d/network restart it just hangs for a long long time 
untill it say ok, but ath0 never gets an ip.
Currently, my interfaces look like this:
iface ath0 inet dhcp
        wireless-essid Default
auto ath0

(among other things of course)
Am I missing anything ?

Using ubuntu, I managed to get non-wap wifi working in an eye-blink with its 
graphical tool, I trugled a lot to get it to work with wep and I never got it 
stable. With kubuntu the graphical interface is totally useless and I can't 
even get it to connect by hand.

My access point is currently configured like this:
(o) Enabled ( ) Disabled
SSID: Default
Channel: 6 [x] Auto select
Mode Setting: ( ) G Mode  (o) Mix Mode 
SSID Broadcast: (o) Enabled  ( ) Disabled
Security: (o) None ( ) WEP ( ) WPA-PSK ( ) WPA 

Any ideas are welcome, I intend to enable WEP latter.
Thank you.
