Edit: For anyone else wanting to use this with Kubuntu 6.06. After running the script the only thing I personally had to do was disable eth0, open KDE Wireless Assistant, click on my wireless network and enter my WEP key.... Simple as that.
Again....great work!!
Arrgggh I still cant get network manager to work correctly. To make sure im doing this right I attached an image to make sure im clicking the right thing. If this is the right thing then I choose lo from the drop down and it doesnt see my network. I dont see a place to enter the WPA key. http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/3...titled2hs1.jpg

Oops, that is the wrong button. Try this: right click on the empty area on one of the panels, click add to panel, and then choose notification area. Now look for http://img73.imageshack.us/img73/456...nnected4cu.png or http://img236.imageshack.us/img236/9972/wifi3hr.png in the notification area that you just added. LEFT click that. LEFT click on the wireless network you want to connect to, and go :D
Awsome - worked 1st try, no problems! You made my day.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
it works like a charme here... at least in general. but it doesnt come up on boot automagically... is there any way to do so? i already have all that wpa_supplicant stuff configured. /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf, /etc/network/interfaces and all that... but it doesnt come up automatically. i always have to call the adapter manually.
well, i checked few minutes ago. ndiswrapper is loaded, the acer_acpi is enabled, needed for my acer, but wpa_supplicant and dhclient arent called automatically. any hints?
Thanks a lot!!!!! This didn't work exactly perfect, and I had to read through all the pages in the thread, but it DID work, so not my built-in wireless card work perfectly with WEP Encryption and just for fun I set up WPA and it works too!!! Acer 3004WLCI Laptop 8)
The only thing that is kind of annoying is a startup it is now asking for a keychain password, I tried all the system passwords I have, none worked but I hit 'Deny" and it goes away and the wireless works and it also asks for the WEP passphrase all the time, but I can live with this so long as the wireless works!!!!!
Also has anyone done this and updated the system? I'm wondering if it'll still work after an update? Thanks Alot!!!!
Um...no...sorry. Like I said, I don't use wpa_supplicant, but if you do figure out how, post it here. I'd like to know. :D Good luck.
Hm...well at one point, it should've asked you to enter a password for the keychain thingy. Just out of wondering, what gave you trouble and made you read the whole thread? Hm...Well, good luck.
ok, so i re-installed ubuntu and booted into the liveCD, i noticed that my wireless card (eth1) is listed there, it will activate but does not seem to connect...i run iwconfig, it says 'accent point: invalid' for eth1.
i am using Ubuntu-amd64, what should i do next? ndiswrapper isn't installed, but i'm not sure which route to take...
