Wireless "not ready"- pics included

[Mr. End]

Hello, I'm trying to connect to the Internet using 64-bit lucid, and I'm in quite the foggy situation. The computer recognizes the wireless card, but can not use it to connect to the Internet. here are some screenies:

First: The toolbar app: "Device is not ready"

Second: The terminal. shows that card is a Realtek 8192 (e se or u etc. I'm not quite sure) Also shows a bit of other stuff.

Third: Network Connections software: not very helpful. No connection at all.

so my question is... What seems to be wrong and how do I fix it (eg. do I have to install a driver of some sort, change some settings around or write some fancy code etc.?) Walkthroughs are most certainly welcomed.

Thanks!

I had a similar problem. This solved it for me:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/575128
(reinstall wpa-supplicant)

Good luck!

By the way, after installing some software, the grayed out "Wireless disconnected" problem re-occurred for me and reinstalling wpa-supplicant didn't help. What helped this time was the following procedure found in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9289237&posted=1#post9289237:
detach the wire. Next, please do:
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf
If managed = false, please change it to true. Reboot.
