Switched to KDE and upgraded to heron - can't connect wired/wireless anymore

[Heide264]

I had a rough time connecting with gnome originally, but after a lot of messing with it I finally got both the wireless and wired connection to work flawlessly.

However, I recently switched to KDE from gnome. The internet connection was still working and functioning normal. I figured I would try upgrading to Heron (didn't work with my nvidia driver on gnome before - I think it was messing with compiz stuff). Now I can't connect through either of my devices.

My /etc/network/interfaces is still the same and looks correct and set up with my static IPS. My lshw -C network looks kindof funny though. I'm not sure if it cleared my wireless drivers or what it did.

lshw -c network:

I am really at a loss without knowing how to connect hardwire. I tried what I did to get it to connect through gnome using the interfaces file, but that is all in place this time around.

Any help would be awesome =).

After reading around some more, I thought it would help to tell you that network manager isn't even seeing any devices. It is just saying no connected device.

Any thoughts? I've read around but can't seem to find anybody who is in the same boat as myself. When I use ipdown or anything it complains of a missing main file =(.

I had the same problem although I can my (netgear wireless; atheros) card gets a signal. I still haven't figured out what is going wrong as the card works fine if I boot into Windows.

That being said, you might try the steps shown here. At least this can get your OS to recognize your card.
