This is the exact procedure I went about to get my internet working again. I lost the package for 0.6.5-0ubuntu14, so I was forced to use those for Feisty, which work just as well. (This is for a i386 system running Kubuntu; in order words, I'm using KNetworkManager, not the GNOME one. Modify accordingly.) The Feisty package for NetworkManager has a slight dependency flaw in that it requires libiw28 to be installed, so that has to be done first (Gutsy is packaged with libiw29).
sudo apt-get remove --assume-yes --purge network-manager network-manger-kde wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/w/wireless-tools/libiw28_28-1ubuntu3_i386.deb wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/network-manager/network-manager_0.6.4-6ubuntu7_i386.deb sudo dpkg -i libiw28_28-1ubuntu3_i386.deb sudo dpkg -i network-manager_0.6.4-6ubuntu7_i386.deb sudo apt-get install --assume-yes network-manager-kde Only thing now is that I have a nagging button in the corner to tell me to upgrade to the latest network-manager that I have to avoid. Adept doesn't have a feature to lock packages. At least I can place a hold in apt-get/aptitude on the package... Additional notes for those that are interested: * My wireless chipset is the bcm4319, so yeah, this wasn't exactly easy to diagnose to be the problem. * I got wireless working initially by ndiswrapper, but, of course, it didn't connect to my hidden network, but could connect to unhidden networks just fine. -- can't connect to hidden network https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/50214 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
