Hello All,

Kubuntu 9.04 - KDE 4.3.2 - Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG (Calexico2) - Kubuntu average user (not an expert)

Now wireless is working fine in the configuration above. To achive this I followed the steps below:

1. Removed all networking tools (KNetworkManager, Kcid, Plasma-Widget etc) - no internet beyond this point;
2. Selected to install ONLY Plasma-Widget-Network-Manager;
3. Once prompted, took note of the dependencies;
4. Downloaded - in another computer - the requested files from the official repositories and saved them to a pendrive;
5. Installed each file manually;
6. Rebooted the computer and... voilá!: the network icon appeared in the system tray.

Now, right-clicking it brings up the configuration app, where I can register the wireless networks I need, besides other tasks.

It's working perfectly, but a small - and annoying - issue remains: each time I turn the computer on, a window pops up with a message similar to "KNetworkManager requested to open KWallet..."; I click OK (or Allow, I don't remember), and the boot resumes.

Congratulations for the good job,

KNetworkManager is securely storing the credentials for your wireless networks in KWallet to prevent them from being compromised. Given that KNetworkManager works for you, I would not recommend trying to change from KWallet as the password store as KNetworkManager is currently unstable.

Thanks for your explanation.
