Comment 10 for bug 211717

Hi, sorry I'm a bit of a Linux noob, so I will try and give as much information as possible, hopefully it will help.
I seemed to have a double problem.

The part where I can't seem to connect to the internet is fixed (partially) apparently it is due to the network controller I'm using - Nvidia MCP55

However the Knetworkconf menu thing is a different story. I can confirm that I did have (uninstalled Kubuntu and got Ubuntu instead) Knetworkconf-KDE4, but for some reason, Knetworkmanager would report kcm_knetworkconfmodule missing. I installed Knetworkconf (without the KDE4 part) trying to fall back a version, which successfully brought up a manual configuration menu, but it was odd that the settings won't stick, couldn't set the setting either at DHCP *OR* static ip, the select bullet thing prefers to unselected (you'd think it's one or the other), and somehow I get a static IP address on the configuration field as 169.254.11.86 when it should be around 10.1.1.2. One last thing, when I told kcmshell to list the modules, kcmshell stated there was no module present.

Hopefully that helps, I will stay with Ubuntu or I may use Kubuntu with KDE3 for the time being.
