Further to the comment of M. Torres and pursuant to my remarks: I should have kept my mouth shut. Everything worked fine until I posted my last confirmation of the workaround. Trouble started thereafter.
I still get connected over 95% of the time on booting up. However, if I work too many connections to web sites in quick succession, the wireless connection brakes down. It is difficult, if not impossible, to reconnect using the wireless assistant. I succeeded by eliminating/erasing the file(s) dhclient.pid followed by a command line sudo dhclient ath0. Works sometimes. I also found that rebootingfrequently restarts the wireless connection. In any case, it takes some time for the wireless connection to be (re)established - just as Miguel Torres remarked. This bug should receive a priority set high. It is a niusance and makes Kubuntu 6.10 hard to use. -- wireless assisant does not connect in edgy https://launchpad.net/bugs/64841 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
