Subject: Ubuntu Wireless Problems
I just installed the latest version of Ubuntu, and I'm having a little trouble - scratch that, a lot of trouble - connecting to my home wireless network. Pretty much all of my neighbours' networks are being automatically detected, but not mine. Every other laptop in the house (there are quite a few) are picking it up, and my one did a few hours ago when I was running Vista... I've tried creating the connection manually. The security is WPA-PSK (TKIP). I'm a little clueless, so I took a guess that of the three options Ubuntu offers, [i]WPA & WPA2 Personal[/i] was the right one. Input the WPA key where it said 'Password', and no joy. At the moment I'm using a mobile modem, which is slow and finicky. I really want to get back to using my wireless. Help me!

Well, I would say check the drivers, but you neighbors shows up. I use WPA and it comes out fine. I've had problems connecting to but not seeing some routers/networks.

"With these live disks, we can do all the things the lab teacher doesn't want us to do!" "Or we could just unplug from the network on bootup so that the "seeing eyes" program doesn't boot up so she can't see what we're doing unless she's physically here"
