Hello,
I've recently installed Kubuntu10.10 on a laptop Acer TM660 (rather
old hardware now), running in 32b
with a Centrino chip for wireless connection but I didn't find how to
configure interfaces; in the
menu to configure the network I was able to put parameters for new
wireless connection but
surprisingly there is no option to bind connection with a specific
interface; thus, after that,
there is no mean to set up interface as it is not yet configurated;
command ifconfig -a gives:
do you have a wireless entry inside networkmanager icon near the clock ?
No i can't find any networkmanager, I suppose it is not present; many things
are absent (like data-base, mysql, etc...) I suppose it is to install
by internet...
for my ubuntu 9.10: I just click on the icon with the left mouse button,
list show me available network mixing ethernet, wifi, 3g, ...
That's the gnome version; I'm using KDE's one

and content of file /etc/network/interfaces is only:

Problem is not solved if i do following instructions:
iwconfig eth1 essid <my network name>
iwconfig eth1mode Managed
iwconfig eth1 rate auto
iwconfig eth1 key <myKey>
Any suggestion(s)?? Thanks in advance
what is the result of:
sudo iwlist eth1 scan
it gives:

which is correct: MyWirelessAccess is my network
if error message like:
eth1 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down
sudo ifconfig eth1 up
nothing happens, and ping
www.yahoo.com gives:
ping: unknown host
www.yahoo.com
no network is available
