I found some .debs to install network manager 0.7.0 from CVS in the ubuntu forums. They were dated 10/10/2006. I tried using the program to connect to the wireless network here at school, but no dice. I followed another users suggestion and made a symlink libdbus-1.so.2 to libdbus-1.so.3 and made sure that wpa_supplicant was either in /sbin or linked to from /sbin (it was in /sbin). I then ran:
sudo NetworkManager --no-daemon in one terminal and: nm-applet in another. I got the following output from the first command: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo NetworkManager --no-daemon Password: NetworkManager: <info> starting...

I have been told that the network is standard cisco LEAP here at the University of Akron, but then again I haven't tried to talk to the top guy in charge of the network. The school is currently having a problem with people buying laptops with Vista as Vista will not do LEAP either, so maybe we can convince them to use some other solution. What should I suggest to them that would provide good security and be easy to set up for many users? Oh, I am using a Proxim Orinoco Gold 11a/b/g ComboCard with the Atheros Chipset under Madwifi. Should I try ndiswrapper or is there some other card I can get that will work natively?
