I came up with with a solution. Installing netapplet, a small applet that=

Hi! I've got a little question about wifi on my R52, I hope you can help me=
.<br>
<br>
I installed Ubuntu Hoary on my R52 and I'm very happy as all the
hardware has been correctly detected and configured out-of-the-box.<br>
<br>
I thought the wireless card was not working well because, although the
applet connection on GNOME showed that it received a strong signal, I
was not able to surf the web with it. Strange enough, I could surf my
router's internal web page. It seemed like there was no DNS resolution
when using wireless.<br>
<br>
Anyway, yesterday I found where the problem was: the wireless card
connection is working perfectly, it's only that to have DNS resolution
on it, I have to deactivate the LAN (non-wireless) card. It seems like
is always trying to go through the LAN card (eth0) instead of wireless
(eth1), even if there is no LAN cable attached to it and wireless is
available.<br>
<br>
This is not a major problem but a bit of a hassle. Most of the time I
work wired on the local network, but when I want to go wireless I have
to deactivate eth0 first. Could this be done automatically, make my
computer smart enough to detect which connection is available and use
it?<br>
<br>
