I downloded and installed the most recent network-manager and network-manager-gnome but pointless. I've found in a post that /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf should be changed. In [ifupdown] managed=true. It is pointless too. I've tried to downgrade. Downloaded tar-file of network-manager-0.6.5. After untar I run configure and got an error of "wireless-tools >= 28pre9 not installed or not functional". Well, I have no wireless card... . Any help pleace! M2N-SLI DeLuxe motherboard, amd64

What I have heard of however is issues with the various changes to drivers. What card are you using? Broadcom cards need to have firmware downloaded and there have been many shifts in the kernel with regards to wifi drivers between releases which should make things better in the future. If you can post the output of these commands that should help Code: lspci lsusb iwconfig ifconfig lsmod Some of that output might be quite long so if you can, put it into some [ code ] tags __________________ Registered Linux user #378740 New members read here / Forum Rules #linuxforums on irc.freenode.net

Hi!
Once more: I have no wireless card at all

.
And I'm sitting behind a router.

More details can be fond at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ux/+bug/136836 . In short: you have to append to /etc/modprobe.d/options the next line options forcedeth msi=0 msix=0
