Hi All, I'm just getting started on the Linux Train so bare with me. I think I might be having the same issue. I searched the WEB for the error I see in my syslog and it lead me here. I'd appreciate any help and if my issue is not related then my apologies.
I been unable to connect wirelessly for about a week now as near as I can tell on this Latitude E6400. I can connect using the ethernet on the same device and I can connect wirelessly on my smart phone to my Latitude E6400 and other PCs. However when i try to connect using this router on KDE desktop(4.9.2) config I get the same error reported in this bug. Keep in mind that my wireless connection using the same device works perfectly in Ubuntu 12.10 and linuxmint 13 and Win7, etc... I pasted a couple inserts from my log and the associated error "dnsmasq" recorded throughout my log. Nov 26 12:04:13 curtis-Latitude-E6400 NetworkManager[926]: <info> DNS: starting dnsmasq...
