I am having difficulty getting the internet setup to work. I am using
the system settings interface and when I try to apply the changes I make
a little window pops up claiming it is saving the network but it never
ends.
>From that point on I can't type in any terminal windows either. Also, 
>logout
and reboot hang.
I am using a wireless internet connection. I have an on-board ethernet
connection and when I try to disable it and apply the change the same
thing happens.

Thank you for any assistance

Pat,

I'm not absolutely sure that this will help,
    but it could be worth trying ...

I recently had difficulties getting my internet connection
    to work with [k]ubuntu 7.10 on a new notebook PC
    (an HP 6720s), and after searching around for some
    days I found a few notes which suggested I should
    add "pci=noacp" to the kernel startup line in my
    "/etc/boot/grub.list" file (i.e., append it after
    the end of the rest of the content of the line

In my case, the HP 6720s has both wireless and a hard-wired
    Ethernet port, and the hard-wired port just would not
    work properly before making this change ... it has
    something to do with the way hardware IRQs get handled

As soon as I re-booted with the new kernel option added,
    my internet connection just started to work (as I had
    assumed it would out of the box/CD/DVD)

So, assuming you are using "grub" to boot,
    it may be worth trying ... other than that,
    you may need to supply more information about your
    particular hardware/software setup to enable those
    with more knowledge to help you

Best regards,
