starting knetworkmanager

[Jon Piper]

Hi Georgi,

I have had the the same problem with a number of laptops - including 
this one.  I Cured the problem by removing knetworkmanager and 
installing WICD. This has happened at least ten times; now I 
automatically remove knetworkmanager and now everyone is as happy as a 
pig in slop. This has happened with Kubuntu 7.04, 7.10, 8.04, 9.10, 
10.04 (I have been so happy with 10.04 I haven't bothered with anything 
beyond.  They need ash can knetworkmanager in my opinion.

Be sure you remove knetworkmanager because it doesn't get along with 
WICD - if fact it doesn't get along with itself.  Here is how to do it - 
the easy way:

     1. open a terminal, type: sudo apt-get install synaptic    (it is a 
package             manager - the best for all of the *buntu in my opinion

     2. search for knetworkmanager (knm-runtime) and mark it for 
complete removal

     3. search for WICD and mark it for installation

     4. click "apply"

     5. when it is finished doing its thing -- re-start

     6. set up you wireless security WPA, WEP, etc. and you are good to 
go wired             ethernet or wireless. I rarely work with wireless, 
but I can unplug my cat5         and walk 25 feet the wireless is 
working and the icon is changed for wired         to wireless.  Have fun 
with *buntu!

Blessing,

Jon Piper
