network manager gnome problems

[beefieee]

Hi, I have Kali on a VMware box running with an alfa awus036nhr. Note I've done apt-get updates and upgrade as welll as the new software updater.

To the issue! Kali seems to work way better than BT in every area but one. The network manager will connect to WiFi but will lose connection a minute or two later. The nm-applet will remain showing that I'm connected with max or near max connection but I won't be able to ping the other nodes, router, nor my own address. I've realized that the NetworkManager is only version 0.9.4.1. So I tried upgrading then uninstalling/reinstalling, both end up with version 0.9.4 again. Kali thinks version 0.9.4 is the latest i guess.

I did have problems with WICD on bt 5, so I uninstalled that and started using NetworkManager version 0.9.6. That version worked fine. So how can I update the NetworkManager to a newer version? Is anyone else having this problem?

Try to download latest NetworkManager from here http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sourc...rkManager/0.9/ and see if it helps.

I tried that and ended up with make errors.... to nub to work around the errors. I also have tried download managers and they see 0.9.4.1 as the latest version

I had the same problem for the longest time with the NHR. it would connect and lose signal. I would have to unplug it and plug it back in over and over again. Just yesterday I ordered the 36H. It works wonders. No disconnects and picks up the same amount of signals. I've never been happier. If you can fork up the $30, I would recommend you get the 36H. I use the 36H with WICD
