Hi,
I fully agree with the remarks from Paul Perkins. I confirm this very bad wifi networking behavior in the latest release of Kubuntu Hardy Heron (used this livecd: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/hardy/alpha-5/hardy-desktop-i386.iso, released on 22-Feb-2008 02:33 ) Yesterday, I did a conclusive test using that livecd on my laptop. I have a WPA2 encrypted wifi network at home. I booted my laptop from that livecd, went into knetworkmanager and selected my WPA2 access point in the list of connections. knetworkmanager detected it as a WEP network and did not give me the choice to change to WPA or WPA2 or to manually correct it, which is not good. I manually set the right key, but it still did not work. I decided not to waste time. Connected laptop to router using LAN cable. Used LAN connection to manually install wicd (wifi manager). wicd detected my WPA2 connection without a fuss, asked for key, entered key. Had to restart wicd daemon a few times and then my wifi connection worked fine in the liveCD session. Conclusion 1: title of this bugreport should be changed to "knetworkmanager and network-manager can detect WEP encryption, but not WPA/WP2. But wicd (wifi manager) can detect all types of encryption!" Conclusion 2: I would like to see networkmanager and knetworkmanager replaced by wicd in the next releases of Kubuntu Hardy Heron...
