I have tried those commands several times now. They do make the light on my usb wireless device come on but the light goes out after 8 seconds.

I can see my wireless router, and others nearby. ...

I have no internet on the Ubuntu machine, yet. I have just copied the results to my usb dongle and transferred it to my xp machine. Eventually got the info in a readable format.
