    Its all good man, sorry I just didn't want to write all that out again lol
    Ok is this the fix that you are refering to? I do not have access at all on my desktop computer though. So if this requires me to go online I can't do it. And if this is the fix, do I just type all that code into a terminal one line at a time? Sorry I am still really new to linux so that looks really comfusing to me!

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
    sudo apt-get build-dep network-manager
    sudo apt-get install cvs
    sudo apt-get remove network-manager
    cvs -d : pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome login #press <enter>
    cvs -d : pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome co NetworkManager
    cd NetworkManager
    ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
    make
    sudo make install

    ok...i am going to add to the script so we can make the entire setup a offline setup if required. If you don't mind waiting a little while i code the new part/s of the script and test them then i can have it up in a day or so...if you want to do it manualy then i can help you out there too...it is up to you...

    honestly anyway is fine with me. I would just really liek to get it working lol. Manually might be better because I could learn whats actually going on. So if I ever reformat and have the problem again hopefully I would be able to fix it! But whatever you suggest. Perhapes doing it manually might be to difficult for a beginner like myself. I do have access to internet on my laptop though and on my XP partition. So if there are files that I need to download I can download them and pure them to a CD and bring them up in ubuntu that way.

    thanks for all the help thus far

    well i am working on the script as we speak so it should be done pretty soon...maybe i can get a untested version out tonight...it will be setup so it can be a complete offline install...the only thing you will have to do is download the initial packages which is also done by the script.

    sweet man I appreciate it!!

    Can I download those initial packages on my laptop and transfer them over? because like I said I have no internet connection whatsoever in ubuntu. And I can't get one through hardwiring either due to my setup. so hopefully we can still get this to work

    hmmm..well...i just finished an edgy only script that has a fix discussed on bug 59983. Unforchunatly it is as of right now it is online only...i am working on how i can get it to be an offline install...give me tonight and hopefully i can have it done for you tomorrow...btw...do you have ndiswrapper working and the only problem is that gnome-network-manager is broken? Give me the output of this
    Code:
    ndiswrapper -l
    If it is just that gnome-network-manager is broken then it is possable that i could write you a little script and include all the files you need and email it to you...we will see...depends if ndiswrapper is working.

    That sounds aweosme man. And as for ndiswrapper working I do believe that it is...but I will get that output for you by the end of the night.. I am just in the middle of something in windows so I can't shut down. But as soon as I can I will and I will get you that output!!
    But to my knowledge I do belive it is working. Although I am not 100% on what it is supposed to do exactly. But either way I will get oyu that output
