** Description changed: Binary package hint: knetworkmanager Early this week, I downloaded the last updates with Adept. Since I do this automatically, I don´t know what they were. There were four, and one of them asked me whether I wanted to overwrite the grub menu list. When I restarted kubuntu, there was no longer any WPA2 in my network manager. I was advised to reinstall wpasupplicant and to add kwlan. Whan I removed my wpasupplicant, I also lost cabled connection! After having reinstalled kubuntu from partimage backup, and downloaded the 107 updates waiting for me: No WPA2. I installed kwlan. No cable connection! - I am using KUbuntu8.04 Release i386 (20080423)regularly brought up to date. I use a Broadcom B43 restricted driver + I am using KUbuntu8.04 Release i386 (20080423)regularly brought up to date.
