Good morning. I've installed Kubuntu(Maverick)+Trinity from your preassembledbinary distribution, to replace my old Fedora 8 - still retaining a KDE 3.5, with which Iwas very happy, instead of getting a KDE 4.x. All seemed OK, but,unfortunately, I am not able anymore to connect through wi-fi to the Linux system which was acting as my router to the Internet. The connecting procedure works if I configurethis wi-fi connection with fixed IP address and DNS address. It breaks at the IP configuration step if I configure this connection as DHCP-based (as I was used to). I did not changed absolutely nothing in the router configuration, so I was expecting all would have worked seamlessly. I realized that, with DHCP, the connection from router to Internet must be ok for all to work well, butit is certainly so, because I can access the Internet from the router's desktop. Do you have any idea of which the problem could be ?ThanksDaniele Manghi

Are you using Network Manager (otherwise known to some as Network Mangler)? If so, it might be worth uninstalling NM and installing Wicd http://wicd.sourceforge.net/. In Debian there is a package, so I imagine that there may be in Kubuntu as well.
