[NTLUG:Discuss] Getting eth0 working with Kubuntu

[Terry]

Just now realizing it's a wireless card, sorry, didn't read carefully....
The previous info is still valid and stuff you should check, but.... also:

See that your wireless NIC is acquiring or is set to the correct essid
         iwconfig wlan0
(where wlan0 is name of your wireless NIC)

If the ssid is wrong and you want to manually set it:
        iwconfig wlan0 essid linksys
(where wlan0 is your wireless NIC and linksys is your routers essid)

See:
         man iwconfig
for more info.
