It should be pretty easy. bascially, you should be able to just enter the password in the network administrator, and select which type of security you are using in a drop down box. There may be other types of info that the administrator asks for, but just search around and find all the options and try to match them up with what you have. I am not familiar with the wifi administrator that comes with kubuntu, but I'm pretty sure it is very similar to the one in ubuntu. I think it's call kadministrator. Sometimes, as you open the administrator in ubuntu, it come up with a different looking interface. I don't know why, but if you just keep playing around with it, you should be able to connect.
These links may help you: it depends on you level of experience with linux. If you don't have a lot of experience with linux, then I would recommend that you just take some time and read through these docs. The command line entries should be the same for kubuntu as ubuntu. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide For all I know, you may know more about linux than I do, but if not then this may help. good luck Paul On Thu, Nov 19, 2009 at 11:46 AM, John Rivera <[email protected]> wrote: > thanks guys, but i just installed kubuntu because i didnt have much > time to fix everything, however, does anyone know how to get wifi w/ > wep running in kubuntu > > On 11/18/09, [email protected] > <[email protected]> wrote: > > Send LinuxUsers mailing list submissions to > > [email protected] > > > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > > http://socallinux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxusers > > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > > [email protected] > > > > You can reach the person managing the list at > > [email protected] > > > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > > than "Re: Contents of LinuxUsers digest..." > > > > > > Today's Topics: > > > > 1.
