[olug] Kubuntu 9.04 networking help on two machines (kind of long)

[David Walker]

I have kubuntu on my Sony laptop.  Originally, it just worked but at 
some point I started having trouble with the wireless.  I uninstalled 
NetworkManager and installed wicd and it is working fine again.

It used to work in 8.10....although it had issues with the kernel.  I had to hold or continuously press the CTRL key to get it to boot....now it boots fast...so it needs 9.04.
