Open up a konsole/terminal run then run this command:
sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules
If that says something along the lines of linux-restricted-modules in a meta package, then you need to tell it what kernel version you have installed.
sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r`
I would guess that the second command is slightly more likely...

After you've installed the modules, you should be able to use Kubuntu's GUI tools to setup your PCMCIA card.

also I checked Adept package manager and according to it the modules are installed

,still I cannot configure knetworkmanager to get my card working

ran the code suggested Looks like you have a typo in your command line. Those punctuation marks should be back-tics, and there is no space after "linux-restricted-modules-".

ran the code again

output as follows



sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r`
