Hi Georgi,<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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:<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 0);"> <br>
1. </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 0);">open a
terminal, type: sudo apt-get install synaptic (it is a package
manager - the best for all of the *buntu in my opinion</span><br>
<br>
2. search for knetworkmanager (knm-runtime) and mark it for
complete removal <br>
<br>
3. search for WICD and mark it for installation<br>
<br>
4. click "apply"<br>
<br>
5. when it is finished doing its thing -- re-start <br>
<br>
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!<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi all,
I don't know what I have done to cause this but every time I boot the
system starts without connecting to the network.
If I run knetworkmanager in a konsole it starts as normal and I can check
mail etc..
How do I get the network to start automatically on boot up?
Thanks for any replies,
Paul
