I know nothing about Wifi, don't use it, however does Kwifi manager scan for 
networks? I seem to remember having a look at that even tho I didn't have a 
wifi card.

Just wondering if the card is working its just it cant find the connection. 
There was a chap at the last Lug meeting I attended who's really into wifi I 
cant remember his name for the minute but hopefully he'll see your post.
