    Wpa-psk

    I write this connected with somebodys wireless network, and not my own. I have a WPA-PSK security on our network, and it works fine with my wife and sons windows-machines, and it is found by this machine. I guess that my problem is that I do not know what information from router should go where when installing in kubuntu. I have these information fro my router.
    Physical adress:
    IP- adress
    Sub net mask
    Std. Gateway
    DHCP-server
    DNS server
    Wan port Mac adress
    Can you help me filling in "Edit Network Connection"

    1 Completely remove network manager with the Synaptic Package Manager
    2 Install NDISwrapper with the Synaptic Package Manager
    3 Disable the installed Prism54 modules:
    Code:
    sudo modprobe -r prism54pci sudo modprobe -r prism54common sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
    …and append the following lines:
    Code:
    blacklist prism54pci blacklist prism54common
    4 Get the WG511 Windows driver:
    Code:
    wget ftp://downloads.netgear.com/files/wg511v300.zip unzip wg511v300.zip sudo apt-get install cabextract unshield cabextract WG511v300.exe cd Disk1 unshield x data1.cab cd Driver_xp_File_Group
    5 Wrap the driver and add to modules:
    Code:
    sudo ndiswrapper-1.9 -i netwg511.inf sudo modprobe ndiswrapper sudo ndiswrapper -m sudo gedit /etc/modules
    …and append the following line:
    Code:
    ndiswrapper
    6 Download and install WICD (”Wicd was started because of the lack of useful, functional wireless network connection managers in Linux.”)
    7 Use WICD from the menu item in the Applications menu to configure for your wireless connection. The original posts mention that you might have to flip between wext and ndiswrapper drivers to get going.
    8 If all else fails, restart the PC

    @dn90 We need more information. Please read the wireless setup sticky and post the requested information. You may want to start a new thread for it.

    @lowglow Please do not hijack threads. You should start a new thread for your problem.

    @DaGoomba I'm totally confused by your advice. Unless there was a post deleted, I don't see anything to indicate using Ndiswrapper or anything regarding the prism54 module.

    PLEASE DO NOT INSTALL NDISWRAPPER AT THIS TIME!

    Before we can recommend uninstalling and installing anything, we need detailed information. Please read the thread linked to below, as it explains the info needed, and how to find it. Run the script in the second part to get the info automatically.

    Sry guys but Im newb in Linux... I've installed it a day ago. So will be faster to do that has written DaGoomba.. In Synaptic Package Manager are also similar packages like network-manager-dev, network-manager-gnomes and others... Do I need to delete them too? Or just only network-manager? :/

    No. His advice has nothing to do with your hardware.

    So, first problem is, I don't see a wireless card listed. Can you post the output of
    Code:
    lsusb
lsmod
    Don't forget to use code tags as described here.
