the driver you are trying to in stall is meant for Broadcom devices, instead you are using a device from Atheros Communications Inc. the right driver is: http://wiki.debian.org/ath9k#Supported_Devices
if you have still problems run again the script and repost again please. you just need to install the correct driver.Code:sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install wireless-tools sudo modprobe ath9k <reboot> iwconfig wlan0 power on ifconfig wlan0 up

Ha, thanks!
After running sudo aptitude update && aptitude install wireless-tools
I get:
Do I need to download something from the wireless tools package link first?Code:sudo: aptitude: command not found

ehh.. ?? that's odd. are you sure you re typing the command correctly?Originally Posted by Potsoil
try this instead:

also I just double checked more carefully your script and i found out that the right driver is actually already installed (in lshw, even if lspci did not show it). My bad, i missed that!
so the driver is not the problem in this case! which is better....
can you post the results for this commands:
and which one is your ESSID nameCode:sudo iwlist scan | less
are you able to connect normally to .an open(no pass/encryption) wifi hotspot?
if so change your router setting to WAP or WAP2 only , do not use WAP/WAP2

i am sorry to sound rude but this was suppose to be a thread about my script in the first place (on how to improve it and elaborate the informations collected by the system), not a place where everyone post their results and ask for help, please . It's going to get very confusing for the ppl that are trying to help to understand the situation for each one of you. I am just doing a favor to Potsoil by letting him posting here his/her own issues... for this time only!DISTRIB_CODENAME=natty

If you have troubles with your wifi open a new thread (under "networking and wireless") and post here a link to it. I will be happy to assist you there and I am sure you will find a lot more help too.

Sorry Fdrake I didn't realise this wasn't the purpose of the thread, I can message you rather than continue to clog up your thread if you like?
results of the scan:
Do you mean change the actual settings on the router itself? Or on my settings on here? I haven't got an option to change to just WAP or WAP2 only on my network settings.Code:wlan0 Scan completed : Cell 01 - Address: 06:8B:5D:97:AB:8A Channel:11 Frequency:2.462 GHz (Channel 11) Quality=27/70 Signal level=-83 dBm Encryption key:off ESSID:"BTOpenzone" Bit Rates:1 Mb/s; 2 Mb/s; 5.5 Mb/s; 11 Mb/s; 6 Mb/s 9 Mb/s; 12 Mb/s; 18 Mb/s Bit Rates:24 Mb/s; 36 Mb/s; 48 Mb/s; 54 Mb/s Mode:Master Extra:tsf=0000000fbcfac180 Extra: Last beacon: 2620ms ago IE: Unknown: 000A42544F70656E7A6F6E65 IE: Unknown: 010882848B960C121824 IE: Unknown: 03010B IE: Unknown: 2A0100 IE: Unknown: 32043048606C IE: Unknown: DD180050F2020101860003A4000027A4000042435E0062322F00 IE: Unknown: 2D1A4C101BFFFF000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 IE: Unknown: 3D160B080800000000000000000000000000000000000000 IE: Unknown: DD0900037F01010020FF7F IE: Unknown: DD0A00037F04010000000000 Cell 02 - Address: 00:8B:5D:97:AB:8A Channel:11 Frequency:2.462 GHz (Channel 11) Quality=70/70 Signal level=-35 dBm Encryption key:on ESSID:"BTHomeHub2-22T7" Bit Rates:1 Mb/s; 2 Mb/s; 5.5 Mb/s; 11 Mb/s; 6 Mb/s 9 Mb/s; 12 Mb/s; 18 Mb/s Bit Rates:24 Mb/s; 36 Mb/s; 48 Mb/s; 54 Mb/s Mode:Master Extra:tsf=0000000fbd00a7f9 Extra: Last beacon: 2184ms ago IE: Unknown: 000F4254486F6D65487562322D32325437 IE: Unknown: 010882848B960C121824 IE: Unknown: 03010B IE: IEEE 802.11i/WPA2 Version 1 Group Cipher : TKIP Pairwise Ciphers (2) : CCMP TKIP Authentication Suites (1) : PSK IE: WPA Version 1 Group Cipher : TKIP Pairwise Ciphers (2) : CCMP TKIP Authentication Suites (1) : PSK IE: Unknown: 2A0100 IE: Unknown: 32043048606C IE: Unknown: DD180050F2020101860003A4000027A4000042435E0062322F00 IE: Unknown: 2D1A4C101BFF3F000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 IE: Unknown: 3D160B080800000000000000000000000000000000000000 IE: Unknown: DD0900037F01010020FF7F IE: Unknown: DD0A00037F04010000000000 Cell 03 - Address: 0A:8B:5D:97:AB:8A Channel:11 Frequency:2.462 GHz (Channel 11) Quality=70/70 Signal level=-34 dBm Encryption key:off ESSID:"BTFON" Bit Rates:1 Mb/s; 2 Mb/s; 5.5 Mb/s; 11 Mb/s; 6 Mb/s 9 Mb/s; 12 Mb/s; 18 Mb/s Bit Rates:24 Mb/s; 36 Mb/s; 48 Mb/s; 54 Mb/s Mode:Master Extra:tsf=0000000fbd010284 Extra: Last beacon: 2236ms ago IE: Unknown: 00054254464F4E IE: Unknown: 010882848B960C121824 IE: Unknown: 03010B IE: Unknown: 2A0100 IE: Unknown: 32043048606C IE: Unknown: DD180050F2020101860003A4000027A4000042435E0062322F00 IE: Unknown: 2D1A4C101BFFFF000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 IE: Unknown: 3D160B080800000000000000000000000000000000000000 IE: Unknown: DD0900037F01010020FF7F IE: Unknown: DD0A00037F04010000000000 (END)
I can connect to BT openzone and whatnot, which is what made me think it was just the driver for that particular router.
Ubuntu Cappuccino Scuro
from the scan i have 3 results: BTOpenzone, BTFON which are open and i think you should not have any problem to connect to them. And we have BTHomeHub2-22T7 which uses a mixed mode ecryption mode wap/wap2
mixed mode setting is know isssue in a lot of drivers in linux/ubuntu. you can change your routers' setting by connecting through the ethernet and go to the "wireless-security" tab and select either "wap" or "wap2" only.Code:IE: IEEE 802.11i/WPA2 Version 1 Group Cipher : TKIP Pairwise Ciphers (2) : CCMP TKIP Authentication Suites (1) : PSK IE: WPA Version 1 Group Cipher : TKIP
if you have problems post here please.

My only other security option is WEP...I'm actually moving house in 2 weeks so for fear of having everyone else in the house having to reconfigure their wireless settings I might just wait and see if I can connect to my new router
But thanks so much for all your help fdrake! I'll probably spend the rest of the two weeks trying to figure out how to get my speakers and macbook camera to work
