I finally, thanks to the tutorials from this forum, made my wireless card work on Kubuntu 8.04. So thanks to you all.
Now...
I thought they included those network managers since 7.04. They are still buggy. No hard feelings, I can't do better since I cannot program. But they included KNetworkManager on already 3 versions: 7.04, 7.10 and now 8.04.
Why do they do this?
I gave my CD to a friend who finally wanted to try Kubuntu on his laptop (8.04). Network didn't work ---> erase.
My parents tried it also (not computer minded, typically Windows users) ---> Erase, because they can't connect to a wireless network.
People who first try (K)ubuntu or linux in general aren't suppose to experience such problems. The reaction I always get: "see, that free stuff is amateuristic, we'll stick to Microsoft Windows, that's a professional product".
I got rid of those managers: KWifimanager, KNetworkManager, WICD,... and set up a manual connection. The people who compose Ubuntu should do this too: because they cut into their own veins by including them.
