Hola: I experience a similar trouble with wireless access within KUbuntu Hardy Heron v8.04: Wireless internet access sucks, to say the least. I even found basic ortographic errors in the window text, such as "inhalámbrico" for "inalámbrico". I recommend this subsystem undergo a very thorough revision. Friends of mine are downgrading theirs to v7 or v6 due to the internet connection problems this new release brings. knetworkmanager and dhcpclient seem to have some programmings bugs. I had to reinstall them from the CD. Lucky I was I had one near, but some many people could enter an infinite loop: no internet connection gets no upgrades, and no upgrades don't solve the connection problems. Reinstallation somehow worked, but I still have some trouble: I seem to be connected to the internet through the ADSL wireless router (telefonica) but after some minutes, Firefox won't open any pages. I am forced to manually reconnect from knetworkmanager system tray icon every few minutes. I even got DUPLICATE packets when I ping! What's going on? (details below). A handheld Linux device of my own (N770) in the same room connects to that very same router without effort. I therefore ask (beg) the developers for an inmediate, heavy revision of this subsystem which is a very important one and one of the keys to transmitting a good impression of the distro so as many people as possible adopt it as their own. Adding a user-friendly Wireless Internet Connection Wizard won't harm much either...
