the network manager applet is installed but it reads ‘no network connection’.

under networking, the ‘wired connection’ seems to be rechecked after i unchecked it as per instructions. also, there is no new ‘wireless connection’ that one would expect.

the ‘power’ light on the networking card keeps a steady blink, but the ‘activity’ light does not turn on.

on my laptop (running windows), there is no problem detecting the wireless network.. i am stumped~

also, under repositories i checked all under Internet..

If you are typing it in, be sure to use the back-tics located above your tab key, and not the normal apostrophe.
The error message indicates that it didn’t recognize the back-tics properly.

There is one more thing you can try: make sure you have all the correct repositories enabled in Synaptic:

System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager.
[enter your password] > Settings > Repositories.
Ubuntu 6.10 tab > check all options under Internet.
Optionally uncheck all options under CD-ROM / DVD so that it no longer asks you for your CD everytime you want to update something, but rather it will download the latest version for you.

Let me know if this helped you out. If it didn’t let me know your results and I’ll research it a bit further.

Good luck!
