Wireless networking has gotten better with Kubuntu 9.04, however there are still problems for users who do not have a card supported natively. If you have not purchased a wireless card yet, please take a look at the supported hardware at <ulink url="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported"/>.

If the above did not work, open up <application>Konsole</application> (<menuchoice><guimenu>Application Launcher</guimenu><guisubmenu>System</guisubmenu><guimenuitem>Terminal (Konsole)</guimenuitem></menuchoice>) and type <userinput>ping gateway_ip_address</userinput> (substitude gateway_ip_address by the ip address of your gateway. This address is usually 192.168.1.1, but may vary depending on the nature of your network). If you are able to ping your gateway, then the DNS on your computer is not working correctly. If you are not able to ping the gateway, then you do not have a proper internet connection.

<emphasis role="bold">Command line</emphasis>: (<menuchoice><guimenu>Application Launcher</guimenu><guisubmenu>System</guisubmenu><guimenuitem>Terminal (Konsole)</guimenuitem></menuchoice>) This will open up <application>Konsole</application> providing you with a terminal or the command line. Once you are sitting at the command prompt simply type <userinput>lspci</userinput> and press the <keycap>Enter</keycap> key. Locate the <guilabel>Network controller:</guilabel> line as this will provide information about your wireless adapter.

Once you have <application>bcm43xx-fwcutter</application> installed you can read through a list of links to various drivers for your Broadcom device. To do this open up <application>Konsole</application> (<menuchoice><guimenu>Application Launcher</guimenu><guisubmenu>System</guisubmenu><guimenuitem>Terminal (Konsole)</guimenuitem></menuchoice>) and type at the prompt <userinput>zless /usr/share/doc/bcm43xx-fwcutter/README.gz</userinput> and press <keycap>Enter</keycap>. You have the choice of picking a driver from that list, driver CD, or manufacturer's website. The file you are interested in using is the <filename>bcwl5.sys</filename> file. If you have the drivers in a <filename>.zip</filename> format, unzip the files to a local directory. If the drivers are in a <filename>.exe</filename> format, you will need to install <application>Cabextract</application>. With <application>Cabextract</application>, at the command line locate the directory where you downloaded or copied the file to. Once there type at the prompt <userinput>cabextract filename.exe</userinput> and press <keycap>Enter</keycap>. This will extract the file into the directory you are in.

Now if you went through the driver installation without any major errors or issues, the next step would be to load the new module you created in the previous step. At the command line type <userinput>sudo modprobe
bcm43xx</userinput> and press <keycap>Enter</keycap>. To see if the module loaded and is working, at the prompt type <userinput>iwconfig</userinput> and press <keycap>Enter</keycap>. If it works it should return the name of the interface as <acronym>ethX</acronym> where X is the number of the device. In most cases it may be <acronym>eth1</acronym> if you have a <acronym>CAT-5</acronym> Ethernet device already installed and configured. Also to test and see if your device can scan, at the command prompt type <userinput>sudo iwlist ethX scan</userinput> and press <keycap>Enter</keycap>. Don't worry if it reports <emphasis>no networks found</emphasis> as your connection may still be working. Test and see if you can connect to your network and the Internet. If everything has worked then you will want to add the module so it will load at boot. To do so, at the command prompt type <userinput>sudo sh -c "echo bcm43xx &gt;&gt; /etc/modules"</userinput> and press <keycap>Enter</keycap>.

Due to similar issues of that with a Winmodem, installation and configuration of a <acronym>USB</acronym><acronym>ADSL</acronym> modem may require lengthy procedures depending on the type of modem. For further installation information, pleas refer to <ulink url="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsbAdslModem"/>. You will of course need another means of connection in order to review this documentation.

Software modems, also known as Winmodems, are the type that are usually built into the system itself whether it is a desktop or a laptop. These modems are usually connected to a <acronym>PCI</acronym> port inside of the computer or a <acronym>USB</acronym> port outside of the computer. There are still quite a few of these types of modems that are not supported by Linux due to the type of binary driver or firmware they use. Winmodems supported in Linux are also known as Linmodems.
