Hi,
Not sure if this is the right way to do this, but I just wanted to add support for this request.
My experience with setting up wireless on Edgy was HUGELY better than in dapper - when I installed dapper I was trawling through web pages and editing text files for days before I got wireless going.
With Edgy, I went oo, I wonder if kwlan will help, installed it, explored the menu items, and had a connection to a WPA protected network in *minutes*.
Really good tool.
(2006-12-18) Having now learned of the network-roaming spec and the fact that KNetworkManager is included by default in Feisty Herd 1, I'm now marking this spec as obsolete. - Nael
