Today I will be installing a Cisco/Linksys AE1000 usb wifi N Dual Band adapter on a KUbuntu 10.4 system on an ~ 2004 Compaq laptop. Then I will be attempting to see if I can get network access through that hw. http://homestore.cisco.com/en-us/Adapters/Linksys-AE1000-Wirelessn-connector_stcVVproductId97826164VVcatId551966VVviewprod.htm Given that KDE doesn't seem to have the network management comprehensiveness that current GNOME network-manager attempts, & that the KDE website doesn't seem to have a Network management sw topic, nor wifi, oriented mailing lists, & that lacking those infrastructures, the KUbuntu users list is not highly likely to have users highly knowledgeable about specific wifi client hw & what sw to use to manage it, - where are some better info sources (website, mailing list) for how one would best manage wifi networking with eht AE1000 device under KUbuntu 10.4? Motivating factor: attempting to use the KUbuntu GNU(Linux) system where there is a wifi network that a windows computer using Intel wifi HW is showing a 150Mb/s wifi connection, & observed Cisco wifi AP. == KDE wifi info not findable in a reasonable search time, &/or 5 years out of date: http://kde.org/applications/internet/kwlan/ Kwlan is an alternative network manager supporting profiles for dial-up, wired and wireless networks. (Deprecated by NetworkManager) "NetworkManager" isn't show under KDE Applications: System, Internet nor Utilities. http://kde.org/applications/ http://kde.org/applications/internet/ http://kde.org/applications/system/ http://kde.org/applications/utilities/ http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Solid_Network_Tutorial Network Configuration This manual explains how to install and use KNetworkConf, Revision 1.0 (2005-03-24) http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kdeadmin/kcontrol/knetworkconf/index.html == Is the linux-wireless@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx list the only list where more knowledgeable info on this topic would be obtained? == Is using this under KUbuntu going to require an effort like this: "get his new Linksys AE1000 working on Fedora 12 2.6.31.9-174.fc12.x86_64, so I thought I'd post my findings, since they were fairly scarce, and less than straight forward." http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=244215 Thanks. :) ===== References: 1) Great Device white Reviewed By: Jeff on 5/9/2010 Rating + 4 Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week Pros: * Great speeds. * Great cable length. * Runs cool. Cons: * No official Linux support. * Somewhat over priced. Other Thoughts: It lost a star because its a Windows only device and the price. I am using this to stream HD content off a RAID server and I am quite pleased. I am seeing speeds between 7-9 MB/s. I should point out that I am using this with Linux despite no official support. I have tried this device on Windows as well and received similar results. If you want to run this on Linux, you'll want to look into Ralink's RT3572USB driver. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833124389 http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2 2) Title: Cisco/Linksys AE1000.
