Re: [orca-list] network-admin and wireless config

[José Vilmar Estácio de Souza <vilmar informal com br>]

Hi Christopher,
I had difficulties to configure my wireless network card in ubuntu hardy.

The first problem was that ubuntu didn't recognize my wireless card.

The second problem was that I couldn't configure my wireless network to 
use WPA encryption.

I found a solution to my first  problem in the following URL:
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware .

I found a workaround to my second  problem changing the configuration in 
my wireless router so that it doesn't use authentication.  My connection 
is open but I tell to my router      the MAC addresses that can connect 
to it.

Another step that I took was substitute  network-manager by WICD. It 
seems that WICD can handle wireless connection better than 
network-manager.

You can read information about wicd in the following URL:
http://wicd.sourceforge.net/download.php

In my opinion the accessibility of WICD isn't very good but it it is 
possible to use the program using  the orca's flat review mode.
