Funny, I did that whole thing. Everything looked fascinating as it rolled on by in the terminal. Learned a bit on how to make a debian package from a source,
but it all ended up doing the same thing with (K)network manager showing no connection, even though I have a (static) wireless one. This isn't a bid deal mind you... it is just silly that I went from having a nice little wireless bar graph since I started using Feisty when it first came out to now after it is in Beta, I have something that looks like a mouse pad with a mouse sitting on it.. and a red X of course. It should just be fixed in the next few updates, so if there is a connection, regardless if it is static, wired, or wireless, it shows that like it did before. I use Kubuntu, but I am under the assumption that knetwork manager is simply a front end for network manager. I reinstalled knetwork manager anyway after all of this just to see. Nope. Went to Kwifimanager... as I have a desktop and don't need to roam around. I just need to see that I am connected when I boot. -- network-manager should not set offline mode when it manages no device https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/82335 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a bug contact for knetworkmanager in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
