I have never used Kubuntu but everything seems fine to
me. Your wireless
connection is up and running and it can see the avaliable networks.
Now, if you want to automatically connect to any given network you just have
to configure it. You can do that, either manually (check the Ubuntu
documentation, but most likely you will need to edit /etc/network/interfaces
and, as your network is encrypted you will probably also need to do a couple
of more things), or through your GUI network manager (I ignore what is the
default in Kubuntu, but probably there is some kind of plasma widget you can
install and/or add to the panel).
I don't find any usefull widget to add, there is a small icon near the
clock for connections
but there is no option to activate or deactivate any connection, it is
just indicated that
ethernet connection (eth0) and wireless connection (eth1) doesn't
work. After configuration
of eth1 with iwconfig, if I'm typing iwconfig I obtain:
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
eth1 unassociated ESSID:off/any Nickname:"ipw2100"

I'm surprised by Nickname:"ipw2100"......
If the Kubuntu widget is not working (I
have heard that KDE 4.x, x<6, is a bit buggy) and
you prefer having some
kind of GUI to manage your network you can install the Gnome network manager
or Wicd.
Yes but for that I need internet connection....:D
Ok I think I will leave Kubuntu10.10 at the moment and choose another
version who use either gnome
or a version of KDE less than KDE4...
Thank you for your help
Kind regards,
Miro

Hello,
Gilles Maria-Sube a écrit :
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...
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 ?
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

Problem is not solved if i do following instructions:

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
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
