Javier,

Thank you for the helpful reply. The wireless link seems to be OK today. I'll try the instructions in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo/Kubuntu#EasySteps if/when I get time to experiment. For now, having the network connect without user intervention and before I even log in, is more convenient. The menu path System -> Administration -> Networking does not exist here, perhaps it is only in the Gnome GUI? The KDE menu has a System Settings choice that leads to a Network Settings GUI that seems to still think the obsolete WEP is the only encrypted protocol. This is what I referred to, half-jokingly, as "evil". The other thing that I think qualifies as a bug is that the upgrade process made the network stop working, and that information on how to get it working again was quite difficult to find. I only half-understand how the pieces of the networking puzzle fit together in Kubuntu anyway.
