The good news is that my laptop upgraded from Kubuntu 7.04 to 7.10 upgraded without incident, once I deleted the ubuntustudio repositories from the apt configuration.
My manual, untouched by GUI applications, WPA2 (pre-shared key) wireless networking set-up, which works even though I don't understand it, survived the upgrade to 7.10 (unlike the upgrade to 7.04). I am pleasantly surprised. However, all is still not perfect: the KDE interface for configuring the wireless networks is still demanding a "WEP Key", which leads me to think that it still doesn't know how to connect me to the WPA2-encrypted network I'm using to post this comment. See attached window image. Maybe I should install and try to use the kwlan or wpagui package? Surely Kubuntu wireless users are not all on insecure WEP encryption after all these years? ** Attachment added: "Knetworkmanager Configure Device dialog" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10926232/configure_device.png -- kubuntu upgrade to 7.04 broke wpa wireless link https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/110325 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
