Welcome.
We can try. Please open a terminal (Applications>Accessories>Terminal) and paste in these two commands:
... and copy/paste the output back here, thanks, between code tags (easiest to mark out the output code, hit the 'quote' icon then replace where it says [quote] with [code] at beginning and end)..Code:sudo lshw -C network iwconfig
should i be connected to my router by wire or no?

Maybe I need an upgraded kernel? Not sure what's going on
Follow this thread from post #5, ignoring references to Broadcom card. Should fix:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...light=acer-wmi
The gist is, run this:
Restart and see if you get anything. If it works, run these three commands to make it persistent:Code:sudo rmmod -f acer-wmi
If not, start digging here:Code:sudo su echo "blacklist acer-wmi" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf exit

... as you have this wireless card: Centrino Wireless-N + WiMAX 6150
Known to be tricky but what release are you using? Looks like 12.04 and you are ready to go by the output of 'sudo lshw -C network' reporting this:
PS: Fix in link is for 11.04 but shouldn't make any diff. Incidentally, what is machine and model?Code:broadcast=yes driver=iwlwifi driverversion=3.2.0-31-generic firmware=41.28.5.1
