I suppose you are using "network manager" in gnome or manually setting up with /etc/network/interfaces for you wifi. Most people have better luck, IMO, using wicd for wifi setup and is what I use now. Suggest you give it a try. It will remove network magager and maybe some more programs when you install wicd. To install it you need: http://apt.wicd.net intrepid/extras Packages (all one line) In you sources.list as it's not in the regular repos. Install if from synaptic or other gui or from the CLI with: sudo aptitude update sudo aptitude install wicd. Let the list know if you have any problems installing or setting up wicd. BTW, before we start seeing a bunch of rebuttals about wicd, it is not entirely trouble free but for me and many others, it just works and is much more stable than network manager.

The first thing that I had to fix was the firewall. My firewall was not letting any traffic through and so the connection was timing out. The next thing to do is to install WICD. Installing WICD got rid of all my network problems. Installing WICD will remove network-manager for you. The directions for installing WICD can be found on their web site: www.wicd.net -- Raquel http://www.byraquel.com ================================================== ========== People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness.

However, I have no experience or insight with the Belkin adapters. YMMV, don't forget to google for the Belkin card and good luck.

I had to go back from the -11 kernel to the -9 kernel. -- Raquel http://www.byraquel.com ================================================== ========== People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness.

You probably got completely new drivers. The old ones, iirc, were blacklisted in the Intrepid install. -- derek -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |
