Here's an update. I've been doing updates right along and it hasn't
started working.

However, after an update yesterday (15+ packages), I couldn't boot to X.
So I rebooted and from GRUB I choose the "safe mode", I forget what it's
called.... recovery?

Anyway, I got to an ASCII based Recovery Menu. Never saw it before,
thought it was a nice touch. So I ran FSCK, that was cool. Then I choose
the option Fix X.ORG. It did somethings and then I rebooted.

NOW.... I have 2 network managers. I don't know if the "Fix X.ORG" has
anything to do with it, but now I have 2. It could have been the update
or the fix. I don't know.

I digress.... so the one works and the other doesn't. The one that works
says it's NetworkManager Applet 0.7.0. That works, it connects. It
doesn't save my wireless passphrase, so that's annoying... but at least
it connects. The other one, is KNetwork Manager. KNetwork Manager kinda
shows I'm connected, it's showing the progress bar is 95% across, but
not all the way, and the wireless strength its only about half. Where as
Network Manager Applet shows connected and has a full 4 bars for
connection quality. Which is right, the wireless access point is about
30 feet away and it's has high gain antennas.

So, in conclustion. I now have 2 wireless network managers and wireless
works. Can I just get rid of the other one or is there one that's going
to be the "official" Kubuntu wireless manager?
