Comment 92 for bug 210725

Francois Thirioux, could you elaborate how this can be done without knetworkmanager (say if you just have all default packages from a fresh install, except for the ~ppa2 driver itself which you have to install of course)?

If I recall correctly there used to be a System > Administration > Network, but I only have something called "Network Tools" there, hence I don't know where I can tweak with more advanced options.

At the moment I'm stuck at the 2.6.27-4 kernel, although I will upgrade it to the most recent one when I get home tomorrow.
