Hi Darrin, Thanks for the info, I'll give this a try. My issue was that I could see the network, but was unable to connect beyond just to the local access point. I use the internet from wifi hotspots, so typically I connect to a webpage, log in, and then that grants me access to the outside world. I was getting the local login prompt, but after putting in my info, I never got the response back. I've seen the same problem reported on the forums, but I didn't see anyone post a clear fix or workaround. I did see one person suggest removing network manager and using a different tool - so I'm also going to get the details on that and give Gutsy one more try.

When I upgraded to 7.10, when I added the Network Manager to my top panel, I noticed that it did not give me any wireless options, which means that I was not able to use the gui in order to connect to a wireless network. Not sure why this was the case since I am assuming that things generally only get better with upgrades, rather than digress. I was able to manually connect to wifi with the following: $ sudo su $ ifconfig ath0 up $ iwconfig ath0 essid yourRouterNameHere key routerWepKey However, now my Network Manager seems to be properly displaying my wifi networks and allows me to connect/disconnect to/from them as needed. The only thing that I changed was that I installed wifiradar, although I have not used it yet. Perhaps there was an update that was pushed out that solved the Network-Manager issue. For those of you who stated that you cannot connect to wifi, I wonder if you mean that your Network Manager is not working properly, or if you cannot manually connect to wifi using the commands that I listed above? - Darrin On 10/24/07, Pietro Bergamo wrote: > > Thank you for the hints. > Best regards, > Pietro > > Abra sua conta no Yahoo!
