knetwork manager

English Network/Internet

Hello,

I recently installed 11.3, I was able to get my wireless working. However only using the “traditional method with ifup”, I could not connect with network manager. I remembered last time I installed 11.2, it was suggested that the wired connection was taking precedence, which was the initial reason I went the traditional route. I changed the wired connection to “on cable connection” and the wireless to “boot time” but still no luck. So are both methods fine and its just a matter of preference, I would prefer to use knetwork manager. In 11.2 I re-installed a few times and knet worked, but I don’t want to do that again,any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

knetwork manager is working fine on my laptop. It is a bit slow to connect. That is, kde comes up and the startup sounds are heard before I am prompted for the kdewallet password (needed for the WiFi network key). If I plug in an ethernet cable, that connection comes up more quickly.

I think that I had to explicitly click on the knetwork manager item the first time, to tell which network I wanted to connect, and to give it a network key.

Have you tried using ifup with WICD?
