Dear Ms., Mz., Miss, or Mrs. Hobbs, The current version of knetworkmanager I'm running is 0.1-0ubuntu1. Current version of knworkconf is 3.5.4-0ubuntu3. I'm currently running Kubuntu Edgy Eft 6.10 with all the updates. The repository version of ndiswrapper-utils didn't work when atempting to load the Windows drivers. ndiswrapper -i reported no ndiswrapper from three different drivers. After that I went to the ndiswrapper project page, downloaded 1.23 source code tarball from SourceForge and compiled. From that point on my Broadcom BCM4318 was recognized by Kubuntu as being Enabled in System Settings/Network Connections. It was at that point I installed the Edgy repository knetworkmanager. It shows the networks in the neighborhood (as I live in an apartment complex with a lot of wireless networks). However, when trying to connect to the one in my home which has WPA security enabled, it brings up the Connect to Wireless Network window for me to fill in the WPA Personal password. After typing in my password, it goes to Configuring Device and sticks at 28%. Never do I see KDE Wallet to save the passkey or ask me for a login to let knetworkmanager use the wallet for the passkey.
When using Dapper Drake, the first thing it would do no matter the settings in Security, it would pop up the wallet login before providing the password to knetworkmanager. For some reason it fails to do this in Edgy Eft. Also, this was a clean install from a freshly burned disc image bit torrented down to my desktop with ktorrent which is also running Edgy Eft Beta at the moment (installed from the same disc image). Both installs were done late last night and early this morning. Should you know who wrote the Xorg mouse driver for Eft, please thank him/her for me. This is the first time I've had my Microsoft wireless mouse work without a total system hang every 30 minutes. Matter of fact, I have yet to have it hang the system. I'm a very satisfied Ubuntu/Kubuntu user. Almost six months ago I switched from Fedora Core. I've not looked back yet. If you are able to provide me with more help with this issue from the above prescribed symtoms I greatly appreciate it. By the way, I may be new to Ubuntu/Kubuntu, but I'm a CompTIA A+ certified tech. I am very good at spotting troubles and hopefully I provided you with a thorough enough accounting of the issue to help you resolve this. I've seen another post on the Ubuntu forums saying ndiswrapper was currently broken, but I didn't go out immediately and compile the SourceForge project code till after trying the packages to verify what was heard. I however need the ndiswrapper for the WPA security till either the Broadcom project completes its work or Linux in general adopts the Dreamscape driver model that I've been hearing about and following with great interest.
