That could work, but it's better to do that for the short-term just to verify that the wifi driver, kernel, and card are working correctly. If that's the case, there's no reason NetworkManager shouldn't work for you. > Previously, I was told that there is more networking success if one > installs Ubuntu (not KUbuntu) [to get the Ubuntu/Gnome network manager > sw], then install KDE on top of that. > > = > For a system that was installed as KUbuntu: > > Might it be possible to use something like Debian "pinning" to hold back > the KU network manager package, & then install the Ubuntu NetworkManager > package?

This probably isn't the right list for this, but feel free to drop a mail to networkmanager-list@xxxxxxxxx for more help. You may get a reply about "non-subscribers cannot post to list" but I'll moderate your mail through since I'm the list admin. More info here: http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list and we can try to debug your issue there.
