Anyone have any words of wisdom on wireless connections? I'm running Kubuntu (KDE Ubuntu) on my notebook with built-in wireless card. I have no trouble at all when I'm home and I connect to my own router (with NAT and WEP). But when I try to use a "free wireless" at a library or Dunn Bros (where I am now), getting a connection is hit-or-miss. I usually start with KWiFiManager, which always finds the access point right away. But I can't get an IP address through dhcp with any consistency. Most of the time, nothing happens for 5 to 10 minutes (when I lose patience and try something else). Once in a while, after several false starts, everything works and I get a connection. I've tried most of the options with the command-line commands: ifconfig, iwconfig, ifup, ifdown and so on, but I've never found anything that gets a connection. I've tried all the combinations in KWiFiManager -- they seem to be equivalent to the command-line options; the GUI's a little easier to read. I don't know if it means anything, but dmesg adds lines "wlan0: no IPv6 routers present" for every time I hit "Activate" in KWiFiManager. Thanks for any suggestions... Kraig Jones
