In my installation Knetwork manager cannot show mobile broadband connection. All related tabs are disabled even when the modem is plugged in. At the same time kppp and wvdial do the job. I have no idea how to solve this. <div class="gmail_quote">На 05.07.2012 08:51 "Basil Chupin" <<a href="mailto:blchupin@iinet.net.au">blchupin@iinet.net.au</a>> написа: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> On 05/07/12 09:24, Bas Roufs - En. wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> Hello everybody, in several preceding Kubuntu editions, KNetworkManager functioned quite well. However, now in Kubuntu 12.04, I have difficulties getting reliable WIFI connections. Often, the system keeps "configuring the interface" or "setting the network-address". Sometimes, the system keeps asking for a password already given in several times. By means of a few "workarounds" I do get connected, however, it costs a lot of time and effort. Any suggestion or thought? Thanks, respectfully yours, Bas. </blockquote> I *think* I read something yesterday which said that the problem was in the kernel and that upgrading the kernel to version *-26 got the problem solved. Do a search in Launchpad about this.
