I installed squeeze on my Dell laptop recently. Then I went through the trinity instructions for installing trinity KDE. Once I finished I had no wireless and could find no way to configure it, nothing worked. It is an Intel wireless card, 2915ABG I think. What I did was install LXDE & ceni. logged out, logged into LXDE session, ran ceni, and configured wireless for a static IP on my subnet. logged out & back into trinity & wireless worked. in trinity, when I started, all the networking tools I could find would not configure my wireless. one did show my wireless router, but would not let me add it or connect to it.

Hi, Paul. I know we emailed off-list. I simply fired up KNetworkManager (under Internet) and it worked wonderfully well. I'm not sure what I did differently from you - John

I tried that. when I clicked on show/find access points ( routers) it did show my router, but it wouldn't let me configure it or add it. No buttons available to do anything but VIEW. once I clicked OK, that screen disappeared, as did my router. Ceni basically adds info to the /etc/network/interfaces file, so when I came back in to a trinity session, it was already there.
Network setup should not depend what desktop ,if any, is running
Is firmware-ipw2x00 installed ?

<snip> Could it be a symptom of the kdesudo / kdesu problems? It sounds like his LXDE desktop gave him the rights to make the needed entries but Trinity did not. Once the entries were made in LXDE, the Trinity tools worked fine - I suspect they did not need root privileges at that point. Just a guess - John

I was looking for that issue, but I couldn't find "the fix" or not sure .. what exactly is that problem??
Could it be a symptom of the kdesudo / kdesu problems?
I posted last year a kdesu problem with X apps as root..I don't know how to link back there. I don't and won't use sudo in a debian installation. There was not much response, I can only assume everybody else here uses sudo.
My fix was to purge kdesudo-trinity, then change relevant menu entries to:
kdesu --nonewdcop (root app)
and make sure "run as a different user" is unchecked.
Ceni is not affected if called from a root terminal, it's ncurses based. For me that is the easiest method for first-off network config. After that I use wpa_gui to setup multiple wireless networks.

I think I had wpasupplicant installed, not sure about wpa_gui, I'll look,
thanks!
Never a problem here using Ceni in a Trinity session. I don't use any other network setup apps, only ceni, wpa_gui or manual configs.
Ceni should be called in a root terminal. It should not matter what desktop. What actually happens when you run it in Trinity?
Regarding wpa_gui, it's really good if you use more than one network. Once setup it just connects automatically to the first available. A user can edit/add networks quickly and easily. It has scan function also. It's qt4 but doesn't need many deps
But it doesn't configure your interface, just networks. You have to edit /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf manually one time only.
Offtopic for this thread, but are you saying you can use kdesu (it's not a package in itself) without a problem,?
I cannot without the fix I mentioned before, it crashes kdeinit. With or without sudo-trinity installed.
For example, how do you open kwrite, konqueror, kuser, synaptic or other X apps as root?

not really sure what happened, except it didn't work. Oh, I don't think it went through the scan part to actually find the router.. so it fails to connect.

um, not sure.. what...kdesu is. I just use $ su - from the command line to get a "#" prompt

I don't think I have EVER used kwrite, konq, as root, and I don't even know what kuser IS. Synaptic I have used as root, I HAVE to use it from a root terminal on this debian box, the synaptic menu doesn't work. I never run apps as root, except apt...whatever.. well, you know, crontab -e maybe..
I'm having some problems also:

I managed to compile Trinity's KNetworkManager against KDE 3.5.10 but I keep getting these erros, as with 0.7, NetworkManager is version 0.8. Can someone give me some pointers on this issue?

Because Trinity isn't available in my distro and I was recommended to wait for the CMake port before taking more serious adventures :)
