Unfortunately, when the networks require a password, it does not seem to take. I am quite positive that I am typing the correct password, but it seems to be getting hashed at the wrong time. Has anybody encountered a problem like that? <div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><hr size="1">From: Kjetil Halvorsen <kjetil1001@gmail.com> To: Administrator@yahoo.com Cc: Steve Howell <showell30@yahoo.com> Sent: Mon, December 28, 2009 10:00:39 AM Subject: Re: how to find wireless networks?

It is one of the few conveniences I miss from Windows, and I suspect I just haven't found it yet. When I go to System/Preferences/Network Connections and click on the Wireless tab, I can click on the Add button and enter an SSID. But I haven't found a way to auto-discover the network. Yes, I know, just ask the barista for the SSID...;) > I had problems getting this to work. Then I went to synaptic package manager and installed the wicd network manager in place of the ubuntu default, and from there, no problems.
