After a few experiments, the following did the trick for me: 1. Using aptitude, uninstalled network-manager-kde, plasma-widget- networkmanagement, and all the packages autmatically installed because of these two. I used "purge" instead of the regular "remove/uninstall".
2. Rebooted. 3. Installed plasma-widget-networkmanagement including all dependencies. NOTE: After the install, I added the widget to the system tray, clicked on the widget's icon, but the widget still cannot see any wifi network. I removed the widget from the system tray. 4. Installed network-manager-kde. 5. Logged out then logged back in. The network icon in the system tray can now see the wifi networks and successfully connect to them. -- Cannot connect to wireless network https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/526323 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to plasma-widget-networkmanagement in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
