I know this is a plattform for bugs, but it seems this major bug won't get fixed in hardy - please correct me if I'm wrong... that's why I post some lines for people who want to work with their Kubuntu without getting their memory eaten up... I recommend using wicd:
http://wicd.sourceforge.net/ I had no problems with it so far! It uses less memory and I reached all wireless lan's with it without problems! Just add the following line to you /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://apt.wicd.net hardy extras The only thing which you have to choose manually is the encryption of the wlan. Just start the GUI with: /opt/wicd/gui.py If you should have problems with it just restart the daemon and refresh the list with available wlans: sudo /etc/init.d/wicd restart -- Memory Leak in NetworkManager https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203016 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
