Hi,
I'm running Kubuntu Hoary on a Gateway 450 ROG laptop, and trying to set up wireless. When I run KWiFiManager, it shows that it is connected to a network which I know exists, but there is a "?" over the picture of the wireless card on the right side, and no internet connections work. When I go into Control Center to try to enable my wireless card on eth1, I cannot enter administrator mode. After I enter my password, it dumps me back at the "Internet and Network" screen, and when I try to enter the Network Settings screen, it's still in regular user mode. When I try to use "sudo ifup eth1" form the konsole, I get "Ignoring unknown interface eth1=eth1". Here's the output of iwconfig:
eth1 unassociated ESSID
