Bug Description
Binary package hint: kweather
After installing Feisty Kubuntu in a dual-boot configuration with Windows XP Pro, and using later a dial-up line on a pcmcia modem card, I installed Kweather. It seems to be there and I can set the location with no problem, but whenever I try to check the weather it gives me a message that the network reports that it is unavailable. I really don't know what this means. I wonder if the applet only works with a LAN connection.
I tried uninstalling completely and reinstalling--even trying to force a second download--but nothing works.
