Originally posted in tech support and someguy suggested I move it here....

Am using NDISWrapper with driver downloaded from HP's site.

I have my own network, protected by WEP + private SSID. I can connect manually using KNetworkManager (sometimes takes 2 or 3 requests, entering SSID + WEP key)... But I want my network connection to be "always on"

Can anyone help me so it'll just work?

Thanks - H

I've had pretty bad success with KNetworkManager in general (i'm running kubuntu). I'd suggest just scrap it and use WifiRadar or kwifi.

Sounds to me like ndiswrapper is working just fine and you've got nothing to worry about in that respect. If you CAN connect, the rest is up to your wifi manager.

Hope this helps, good luck :)
