Wireless networking has gotten better with Kubuntu 9.10, however there are still problems for users who do not have a card supported natively. If you have not purchased a wireless card yet, please take a look at the supported hardware at <ulink url="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported"/>.

67.

If your wireless card has been detected, <application>KNetworkManager</application> will have a menu entry listing your wireless device. You can attempt to connect to your wireless network by clicking on the System Tray icon and selecting your wireless network. If you are able to browse the network with the a web browser, you have successfully connected to the internet.

69.

With <application>KNetworkManager</application> you simple click the application icon in the system tray and select the wireless network you want to connect to. When you click on a network that has encryption enabled, you will get a pop-up dialog to enter this information. Once entered, this information is stored within the <application>KWallet</application> utility. This allows you to connect to that network in the future just by entering your <application>KWallet</application> password.

If the above did not work, open <application>Konsole</application> (<menuchoice><guimenu>Kickoff Application Launcher</guimenu><guisubmenu>Applications</guisubmenu><guisubmenu>System</guisubmenu><guimenuitem>Terminal (Konsole)</guimenuitem></menuchoice>) and type <userinput>ping gateway_ip_address</userinput> (substitute gateway_ip_address by the ip address of your gateway. This address will be something like 10.0.0.1, 192.168.1.1, or 192.168.2.1, but may vary depending on the nature of your network). If you are able to ping your gateway, then the DNS on your computer is working correctly. If you are not able to ping the gateway, then you do not have a proper Internet connection.

<emphasis role="bold">Command line</emphasis>: (<menuchoice><guimenu>Kickoff Application Launcher</guimenu><guisubmenu>Applications</guisubmenu><guisubmenu>System</guisubmenu><guimenuitem>Terminal (Konsole)</guimenuitem></menuchoice>) This will open up <application>Konsole</application> providing you with a terminal or the command line. Once you are sitting at the command prompt simply type <userinput>lspci</userinput> and press the <keycap>Enter</keycap> key. Locate the <guilabel>Network controller:</guilabel> line as this will provide information about your wireless adapter.

78.

Since kernel version 2.6.17, support for Broadcom wireless devices were included. This means that there are some Broadcom devices that work out of the box, however there are still many that don't. If your Broadcom wireless device isn't working then you have two choices; <application>bcm43xx-fwcutter</application> or <application>NdisWrapper</application>.

79.

With the <application>bcm43xx-fwcutter</application> utility there are only a select few devices that actually work. To see the devices that are currently supported please review <ulink url="http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/?go=devices"/>. If your device is not supported then it is advised that you use the <application>NdisWrapper</application> utility. For information on configuring your device with the <application>bcm43xx-fwcutter</application> utility please see <xref linkend="network-connect-wifi-bcm43xx"/> and for configuring your device with <application>NdisWrapper</application> utility please see <xref linkend="network-connect-wifi-ndiswrapper"/>.

82.

Configuration of <application>NdisWrapper</application> is command line intensive. There are currently no graphical clients to aide in this configuration. Even though it is command line oriented, the instructions are easy to follow.

85.

<application>NdisWrapper</application> is considered the wireless fix-all for Linux. A great percentage of wireless adapters that are not supported natively or with other utilities are supported with <application>NdisWrapper</application>. Install <application>ndiswrapper</application> by using <application>Software Management</application>. If you are uncomfortable with installation practices then it is advised that you review the <ulink url="help:/kubuntu/add-applications/">Adding Applications</ulink> document.

86.

Once you have installed <application>NdisWrapper</application>, locate the Windows drivers either on a <acronym>CD</acronym> or the Internet. Drivers for Windows XP are preferred, however Windows 2000 drivers will usually work just as well. Once you have located the CD or the drivers on the Internet, copy them to a local folder on your system. In some instances, you may have your drivers in a <filename>driver.zip</filename> or a <filename>driver.exe</filename> file. If it the file is in a <filename>.zip</filename> format, unzip the file by either <mousebutton>right</mousebutton> clicking on the file and selecting <guilabel>Extract</guilabel> from the pop-up menu. If the file is in a <filename>.exe</filename> format, then install the <application>cabextract</application> utility and open up <application>Konsole</application> to navigate the correct directory. Once you have navigated to the directory storing the <filename>.exe</filename> file, type <userinput>cabextract filename.exe</userinput>. This will extract or unzip the file to the directory you are in. The driver will be in the <filename>.inf</filename> format, so what you will want to do is type <userinput>sudo ndiswrapper -i filename.inf</userinput> and press <keycap>Enter</keycap>. If successful you shouldn't receive any errors. This command has gone ahead and loaded or installed the drivers in the <application>NdisWrapper</application> module. To see if these drivers worked, simply type <userinput>sudo modprobe ndiswrapper</userinput> and press <keycap>Enter</keycap>. Test to see if you have a network and/or Internet connection.
