Under the Wireless tab settings do the following: 1) make sure you first set the Mode to "Auto" 2) thne set the Channel according to what you set in your AP 3) then set the Transmit rate to "Auto" 4) then set the Mode back to "Managed"
I don't know why it works this way but thats how I solved my problem. I suspect that system somehow mix-up what is wifi and what is eth???
Under the Harwdware tab 1) uncheck Device alias number 2) check Bind to MAC if you have enabled and listed your MAC address in you AP
To get the right info on your KiWiFiManager open two sessions; the first one will probably list wifi0 with incomplete info the second eth1 with your IP-address. You can then Quit the first one.
