Hi, I can't figure out my wireless (a 2WIRE router/modem) problem. After running the below script both the KWiFiManager and iwconfig shows that my card is working. However, a ping fails. My main card is a bmc4318, but the result is the same with a Linksys pci card.
I've managed to get wireless working on another laptop under Kubuntu versions of Gutsy and Feisty but now that I'm running Hardy.... -

I'm using Xubuntu Hardy and am therefore not quite sure, that you have absolutely the same network-packages installed as I do (Kubuntu has it's own packages in quite a few areas), but the normal route would be to try via the package "network-admin" instead of trying to set it up manually.
I've had problems like that in the past and I found, that somehow this package must be interfering with any console-based settings. Of course, if you want to do it manually, you can do so - but then I'd remove network-admin.
I'm not using WiFi with this computer as it's a Desktop and near to the router, so I'm quite limited in helping. But I'm trying my best :-D
Greetings,
Nepomuk
