This may have the same underlying cause as bug # 185207 and other similar bugs, or it may be a problem with wlassistant installation and configuration.
The program does not seem to have the right path for /usr/share/
This problem has occurred with any of three wifi cards I have tried, so I don't think the hardware installed is the problem. Currently I am using a Netgear WG511TNA, with /etc/network/
This is definitely a show-stopper with regard to using wlassistant, which I have been using with earlier Ubuntu releases for many months now.
The file path string in the error popup changes somewhat randomly. This looks suspiciously like an uninitialized variable problem in the construction of the file path, and could be either in wlassistant or in one of the kde-to-gnome 'glue' packages it calls.
