as I have been advised by searching for connection of my
wireless broadband usb stick (Dodo) to operate properly and bee recognised
as a modem that I have to install WICD but within the web page of
"http://wicd.sourceforge.net/download.php" it does not mention install for
Kubuntu?

Well, the description is for Ubuntu but Kubuntu shares the same
repository and wicd works more or less the same for both Ubuntu and
Kubuntu. I just can't tell you a GUI way to add the repo because I don't
have a 8.04 machine left. You can add the line
deb http://apt.wicd.net hardy extras
to your sources.list file. You need root privilege to edit that file and
you could do it with the command
kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list
from a terminal or from Alt-F2. Then add the key as described on the
page you mentioned. After that you can install wicd from your favourite
package manager.

Nils,
See my coments below
You can add the line
deb http://apt.wicd.net hardy extras *** understand this***
to your sources.list file. You need root privilege to edit that file and
you could do it with the command
kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list
from a terminal or from Alt-F2. Then add the key as described on the
page you mentioned. After that you can install wicd from your favourite
package manager. ***Dont understand this***
as how to enter which key?

Quoting from the directions found on http://wicd.sourceforge.net/download.php
on how to install wicd on Ubuntu (this part of the process is the exact same
for Kubuntu):
You'll also need to add the key used for signing Wicd by running the following
command in a terminal:

I don't think it can get any clearer than opening a terminal and typing in the
line given, surely with your time in here you do understand how to do that.
If you want to know WHY the need for the command, well that is because in a
reputable repository, all packages are 'signed' for security, and a 'key' is
needed to verify the packages. The package manager, I think, won't install
packages from external repositories without the key. The command given
downloads the key file, and then adds it to the list of keys.

Clay,
I have done those two things
"deb http://apt.wicd.net jaunty extras" within the third party
packages and then in terminal
"wget -q http://apt.wicd.net/wicd.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -"
but now how do I reload to get it to show within me adept_manager?
