Yes! Version 1.6.1 works with no problem!! (That's the latest available thru Synaptics right now).

The network-manager broke soon after I got it with Ubuntu 9.04 and never worked since then. I am surprised with what a P. O. S. is included as the standard Ubuntu distro package and nobody seems to...

Thank you, George. I installed 1.5.9, now it drops connection not at once, like 1.6.2, but after about 5 sec timeout. So I believe the problem is in "Karmic" 9.10 release.

They have the followin...

Sorry to jump in, but I have a similar problem. I always use WICD and the latest version 1.6.2 appears to be broken from the previous one I used 1.5.9. First It connects wirelessly then for some...

Hmm, sounds like fun to try, can I see the tutorial? How bad is the possible exposure? Can someone get to my Windows shares, for example, or is it just traffic snooping?

Thank you, you are very helpful.

Gee, what a buggy soft... I thought after all these years Linux could have been more mature.

Anyway, as far as I understand, NM and wicd are just GUI interfaces to some real command-line, flat...

It's funny, I tried it out. It certainly works different albeit 'a lot better'. Wicd can discover all wireless networks and can connect to some, but can't to my own. Now, the Network Manager can't...

Now I can see how exactly "Ubuntu is 'humanity towards others'. It is 'the belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity'."

Probably I have to get back to the XP concept of...

Does anybody here care to reply?

I searched and did not find anything similar here, so comes this new thread, sorry...
I am completely new to Ubuntu with my Dell Mini9 and I don't know what I did (if anything) but about a week ago...

Looks like I won't get help here then. Probably complete Ubuntu reinstall is coming...

Do you have the same problem as I do (see above)?

But it did (and does). I mean it used to discover all networks and now connects to the previously discovered networks at boot time. I don't know what's changed and whether it's a bug or a new feature...

Looks like not

I am completely new to Ubuntu and love it, so please be nice to my first posting here...

OK, I don't know what I did but about a week ago my Network Manager (applet) stopped discovering wireless...
