A nice summary of your network status can be got with
nm-tool; if you keep running into problems it might be worth posting the output of that.

The network naming scheme is a kernel function, and...

I'm not familiar with knetworkmanager.
You've got a working wireless on this; check what you've put into knetworkmanager as your network settings, as that's probably where your problem lies.

You haven't got a driver installed.
There's some discussion on the best one; google ndiswrapper for the alternative. I prefer going into System/Administration/Hardware Drivers (while connected to...

Hi,
Can you open a terminal, type in
lshw -C network
nm-tool
sudo iwlist scan
and post back the output?

Hi,
What's the output of
lsmod
And iwlist scan (the first command you posted) won't output anything without root priveleges- run it again with sudo.

On the stuff you've posted, you've got a...

Both "the Caterpillar's Cave" and The Bees building" are on channel 11. If you're trying to connect to either, go into the router settings and change the channel.

You did unplug the wired connection as well, didn't you? ( It won't hop onto the wireless while you're plugged in).

What happens if you try going through the "Connect to Hidden Wireless Network..." option down the bottom of the dialog that pops up when you left click on the network manager applet?

So it's working?

Hi,
Now you're on a new install, post the output of

nm-tool
lshw -C network
sudo iwlist scan
again.
I'm assuming the problem is that it largely works, you just can't connect becuase it asks...

Nope, here:http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/lucid/beta1

Sorry, having trouble finding documentation. wmaster0 is deprecated in the latest kernel, so it's on it's way out (and nobody's crying). It's an internal interface the wireless driver uses, but...

Try
ifconfig up wlan0

OK.

ifconfig -a now?

No prob.

What's the output of
sudo iwconfig
Your wireless interface has a logical name of wmaster0. I've seen differing opinions on this, but the only documentation I've ever found suggested...

And the sound?

And
lsmod?

GJCGJC,
What the "2347" was about was the output of
sudo iwlist scan Its an awesome Linux tool that spots all the nearby networks. Catlover's output was

Wireless Access Points
TOBY: ...

Catlover,
Sorry, just looking back and saw something I missed. Can you post the output of
nm-tool
lshw -C network
lsmodagain please? I think you've got a driver problem.

Don't blame Ubuntu. Hardware vendors produce cards, and then for some dumb reason won't let anyone access the info needed to write drivers for them; you can have any driver for a Broadcom card, so...

Sorry, wasn't paying attention.

Have you tried opening the menu off the icon, and instead of clicking on the network you want to connect to, choose "Connect to hidden wireless network". Put the...

Hi,
You don't have a "root" password as such. Ubuntu locks users out of the root account.
You do however have access via sudo. That's what your login password does.

Suggest you try deleting...

Your keyring password may be your logon, although you may need to do the following first:
Go into System/Admin/Users and Groups; click on the keyring in the centre at the bottom, and then on your...

Try going into System/Preferences/Network Connections and adding it there. There's a bit of a glitch in the way Network Manager handles priveleges I think.

To quote on transfer speeds (http://www.lyberty.com/encyc/articles/kb_kilobytes.html:
"Gigabit Ethernet [1000Base-T] is capabile of speeds up to 1000 mbps (mega-bits per second), or 1 gbps."
