<0> thats why I wanted that wireless manager
<1> FennyLap: ouch
<0> wpa bad?
<1> FennyLap: no actually WPA is MUCH MUCH better than WEP but it is tougher to configure in Linux (and Ubuntu)
<0> ya I knew it was better
<0> im more worried about my card
<0> in network tools it says it is an unknown interface
<0> ath0
<0> oh wow
<1> if you do a lspci -v does it give you the model of your card
<0> if I look in device manager
<0> it shows it as a netgear wg31T wireless pci adapter
<0> when I click on tthe arthos
<0> so maybe it is picking it up
<0> but for some reason in network manager it shows it as being unknown interface
<0> lspci -v shows it as netgear
<0> seems to have the proper driver
<1> are you sure about the model, I can't find anything on google about it
<0> ya
<0> that is correct
<0> if I go to network tools.. it wont let me configure it for some reason though
<0> neither that nor my ethernet
<1> are you runninf 6.06?
<0> 6.06 lts
<1> ok
<0> ah
<1> can you paste the content of the command lspci -v | grep -i 'network controller'
<0> I think I may have got to where I got it
<0> let me change to wep and see if I can get in
<0> cuz wpa is not an option
<1> you can install something that will make WPA available in Ubuntu though, that's what I did
<2> hey
<2> sorry
<2> my router restarted
<2> so guess what
<2> im online
<2> how rad *** is that
<2> now I need to get damn wireless manager installed
<2> I dont like leaving my network open
<1> as I said earlier, you can install something that will make WPA available in Ubuntu though, that's what I did
<2> can you help me with that
<2> im lookin at a page and it says it is network-manager-gnome
<1> that's it!
<2> but I guess I dont have my repositories set up :\
<1> can you access the web via a wired interface?
<1> I should've said the 'Net instead
<2> I am on wifi now
<2> but I just need to get that network manager so I can put my router back on wpa
<1> ok then why would you need to worry about the repositories then ?
<2> it said it couldnt find that network-manager-gnome package
<1> from Synaptic, apt-get ??
<1> I mean from Synaptic or apt-get ??
<2> I did it from a terminal
<2> apt-get install network-manager-gnome
<1> sudo apt-get ......?
<2> yes
<1> how about "sudo apt-get update
<2> well I went into synaptic package manager
<2> did a search
<2> and found it
<2> and I guess it installed it
<1> if you want to confirm that it is really installed "sudo dpkg -l | grep network-manager
<1> but Synaptic can tell confirm it too
<2> it looks like it is there
<0> sorry
<0> ok VikJES .. now does that only allow wep to be activiated via terminal or is that now an option?
<1> 5~5~
<1> sorry about that :)
<1> well you need to reboot (actually you don't but it is much simpler) to get that new network manager
<0> ok
<0> rebooting
<0> any way to show your wifi status
<0> I do like the little icon in xp
<0> that will show you if you are disc
<0> I guess it doesnt matter if it just works
<1> Network Manager for Gnome will give something very similar
<0> damn this boots fast
<0> this is ncie
<0> nice
<0> ah I see that little guy
<1> normally if your wifi card works in WEP it'll work in WPA with Network Manager
<0> no network available
<0> rmmz
<1> click it (left click) and select "Connect to Other Wireless Network"
<0> says no network devices have been foiund
<1> do you see the "Connect to Other Wireless Network" option?
<0> no
<1> left click it
<0> just a greyed out sentence that says "no network devices have been found"
<0> that is when I left click it
<1> ooook.....
<1> strange
<2> hey
<2> VikJES,
<2> sorry
<2> my windows is hating wifi right now
<1> yes FenstaLap
<2> anyways
<2> I did another reboot just to try
<2> and it seems like it wont pick up my device
<1> did you go back to WPA on your AP
<2> no
<2> im still wide open
<2> linux is showing my card
<2> and I am actually online with it on my desktop
<2> but that clicking on that little icon says no devices found
<2> any suggestions?
<1> ok just so I'm sure I understand; you've got a desktop with a PCI wifi card and a laptop/notebook with a wifi card also?
<2> ya.. but that laptop is just running windows.. thats what im chattin with you on
<2> im tryin to get the desktop wifi card working properly
<1> ok
<1> do you want to stay with WPA? (please say yes...:)
<2> yes
<2> thats why im interested in getting this network manager working ;-)
<1> but you're still on WEP right now?
<2> no
<2> I just disabled all security
<1> and you can't connect at all from your desktop even with everything disabled?
<0> sorry
<0> guh
<0> my connection keeps dropping
<0> ok
<0> like I said
<0> I want to use wpa but atm I have no encryption
<1> and you can't connect at all from your desktop even with everything disabled?
<0> I am trying to get this wireless manager working however when I left click on the little icon it says no network devices have been found
<0> VikJES, .. my itnernet is working fine
<0> I am browsing the internet on my desktop as we speak
<0> however... for some reason that new wireless manager says there is no wireless device
<1> can you do a "sudo ifconfig" in a terminal?
<0> ya
<0> my wifi card has an ip and everything
<0> my wifi card is working great.. that software just doesnt see that
<1> and your wifi is listed as? (ath0, wlan0, eth0)
<0> ath0
<0> hey VikJES
<0> are you there
<0> im gonna smash this damn dlink
<1> FennyLap: yes I am just thinking...if you do "ps -ef | grep -i "NetworkManager" what do you get?
<3> ok.. this is my desktop
<0> hold on
<0> that was wired
<3> root 4666 1 0 22:26 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/NetworkManager --pid-file=/var/run/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.pid
<3> root 4679 1 0 22:26 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/NetworkManagerDispatcher --pid-file=/var/run/NetworkManager/NetworkManagerDispatcher.pid
<3> noah 5663 5627 0 22:44 pts/0 00:00:00 grep -i networkmanager
<3> thats what I get
<1> Ok so you are definitely running Network Manager on your desktop
<3> I dont see the icon now
<3> thats kinda funky
<1> I don't get it
<1> You should see that icon
