hurray! I can now connect to my wep protected wifi network, but also to
a public open network in the public library. This happened only after I
installed wicd (this was suggested by Grant, they talk about this app in
launchpad). However it only works if i dont have the firmware installed.
Still, it does not seem to work 100% as I cannot see but my network when
I search at home, I usually see up to 10 networks in my room.
So in my case (IBM X32) i just did :
- enable orinoco and orinoco_cs modules
- install wicd
I would expect that the network manager and wicd would use the same
commands under the hood, but obviously they dont. Wicd has quite a lot
of options that nm doesnt, seems more sofisticated. I wonder what it is
doing that I havent done before. I did few tries at configuring the
network manually with iwconfig and dhclient.

ok well i've finely gotten back to trying the wireless here and found
that I had to load three modules just to get the card to start working:
ndiswrapper
orinoco
orinoco_cs
without ndiswrapper the card would start and then immediately disable.
now the card is enabled, it is showing up as eth1, but I can't get it to
connect to any networks.
here is some info from dmesg:

The little network manager icon doesn't return any networks, if I
manually put in the essid of my network, nothing happens.
I looked at /etc/network/interfaces and there was only an entry for lo,
does that have something to do with it? Is the interfaces file not
being used anymore? I'm still pretty used to standard debian, and have
noticed some changes when using Ubuntu, such as xorg.
Its not a huge deal, but it is kind of inconvenient to not have
wireless. Let me know if you have any ideas.
Thanks,
Grant

small tipp if you don't know already - if that works you could put the
module names into /etc/modules so they are automatically loaded during
boot time.
