    Wireless not connecting to AP

    I'm not sure why its not working, there doesn't seem to be anything incorrect but then again im no expert. The only thing i noticed is that my wireless appears as eth1, though its probably just a name.

    I've got an Asus F5R Laptop running Xubuntu 9.04.

    Got rid of NM and installed WCID. Everything is working fine.
