Hello everybody,
in several preceding Kubuntu editions, KNetworkManager functioned quite well.
However, now in Kubuntu 12.04, I have difficulties getting reliable WIFI
connections. Often, the system keeps "configuring the interface" or "setting
the network-address". Sometimes, the system keeps asking for a password
already given in several times. By means of a few "workarounds" I do get
connected, however, it costs a lot of time and effort.
Any suggestion or thought?
Thanks, respectfully yours,
Bas.

KNetworkmanager: no reliable WIFI connections.
You could try WiCD - in the repositories.
Sent from my Motorola Xoom running Ice Cream Sandwich
in several preceding Kubuntu editions, KNetworkManager functioned quite well.

connections. Often, the system keeps "configuring the interface" or "setting
the network-address". Sometimes, the system keeps asking for a password

I *think* I read something yesterday which said that the problem was in
the kernel and that upgrading the kernel to version *-26 got the problem
solved.
Do a search in Launchpad about this.

KNetworkmanager: no reliable WIFI connections.
In my installation Knetwork manager cannot show mobile broadband connection.* All related tabs are disabled even when the modem is plugged in. At the same time kppp and wvdial do the job. I have no idea how to solve this.

KNetworkmanager: no reliable WIFI connections.
Hello everybody
Thanks for all your feedback so far.
> You could try WiCD - in the repositories.
When taking a look at https://launchpad.net/wicd, it becomes that the
newest versions of WICD has similar problems. See below.
However, I keep this option in mind in case the problems persist.
> I *think* I read something yesterday which said that the problem was in the kernel and that upgrading the kernel to version *-26 got the problem solved.

On one hand, I did not yet find exactly the article you may be
pointing at. On the other hand, a few other details I found out today
possibly indicate that you might be right.
Elswhere at launchpad I found this bug report:
http://tinyurl.com/bug1014893
I already added a comment there.
A few recent comments on WICD point in the same direction: see
https://launchpad.net/wicd, under the heading "Recent posts".
Those comments aim at similar password and connection problems when
using WICD - a package with the same functionality as KNetworkmanager.
Now, I am working with WIFI - with no interruptions so far. Before the
reboot preceding this session, I did download and install a bunch of
updates. However, I am not sure whether I already installed version
*-26 of the kernel or anything else with a relevant bug fix. I will
report my findings here after a few days.
Respectfully yours,
Bas Roufs.
