Re: [ubuntu-uk] Joiku wireless connection......

[John]

Hi I know I am keeping on asking this, but I really want to get this to work. I sent an e-mail some time, about this, but I'm not sure if it has reached you, so I am going to post it again. If install WICD, am I going to end up with worse problems. Been still trying a few things out, to get this to work. I have discovered that I tried to connect to Joiku via a windows xp machine, and found I could connect really easily using both 68 and 128 bits encryption. So it makes me think that there might be something wrong with my network adaptor. Before I try to install the WICD, I wondered if there might be a way to try repair the Network manager instead. If that doesnt work, and I install the WICD, how will that affect my other wireles connections, for example connecting to my router, will I have any problems? As you can tell, I am not very good with Ubuntu, and I am worried this might get over my head. So, does anybody have any ideas about repairing the Network manager? If will even work? Thanks for your help.

Could somebody help please? Thank you. John If there is a problem with network manager, you could use wubi, an alternative to network manager. It bills itself as "an open source wired and wireless network manager for Linux which aims to provide a simple interface to connect to networks with a wide variety of settings", and allows you to do pretty much the same as Network Manager. However, if you want a wicd applet, you'll have to set '/opt/wicd/tray.py' to run at startup. To install, you first need to remove network manager by opening a terminal (Accessories > Terminal) and running 'sudo apt-get remove network-manager network-manager-applet'. When this is done, run the command 'sudo apt-get install wicd'.
