costen Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Hello, Pretty new to Linux so struggling somewhat, Ive installed Kubuntu and that seems to be running ok(ish) however i have a asus wireless card that connects to a wireless router now, kubuntu picks up the wirless card and the router which ill give it credit for, but the encryption is WPA and it seems to think its a WEP ive tried setting a manual network config but it got to 28% connection and then died. what do i need to do? as once i can get online i start to learn what linux is all about thanks!!

brettpower Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 What is the model of your wireless card? Model #? Serial #? If possible, strip your router totally of all security configurations and try to connect as an unsecured wireless network and see what happens. You probably need better drivers. Are you using NDISWrapper? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/63009-connecting-wirelessly-using-kubuntu/#findComment-373151 Share on other sites More sharing options...

neylitalo Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Quote Did your card come with Linux drivers? Network cards don't "come with Linux drivers" - they're either included in the Linux kernel (very likely), or you download them from the manufacturer (not likely at all).

briealeida Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 In case anyone else is having the same problem: From what I've read knetworkmanager likes WPA. I've read that people had better luck with that.
