The instructions here don't apply to the latest version of Network Manager or at least they don't on my Latitude 2100 netbook. Anyone have luck getting connected to OSU wireless with Ubuntu 9.10?

Is there any advice you have for getting this worked out? So far I've liked what I've seen with Ubuntu. I’m having difficulties with the new network manager as well.

The default network manager doesn't agree well with my network card so I'm using WICD but the interface is a little different..

Thanks! Josh Paul,

However, since it's a Debian-based distro, you should be able to run: apt-cache search Network Manager and it will give you the correct name to use in the apt-get install command. @Braiden: Sadly, I don’t know how these apply to Xandros.

I go to the NetworkManager link and click on the most recent version and save it to the computer. Then when I type into the terminal the sudo apt-get install command it says that the network manager cannot be found. Am I doing it wrong. It feels as though there should be another command somewhere. I am using an Asus Eee Pc that uses a customized version of Xandros. Will that have any bearing over these instructions? Are there other steps that aren't listed? I'm really frustrated and everywhere wants $60+ dollars an hour and I am not paying that. Any help would be appreciated.

You don't need to worry about it. The nickname is set by the driver, it’s just a hint so that you know what eth1 is if you have eth1, eth2 and eth3 and don’t know which attaches to which adapter.
