    rel 11.10 and Intel Centrino adapter problem

    I am new with Ubuntu although I have been running ver 11.04. I upgraded to 11.10 yesterday on my dual WIN 7/Ubuntu system. After upgrade my wireless fails. It keeps asking for security (authorization) code over and over but never connects. I am running an ASUS with Intel Centrino wireless_N + wimax 6150. I have looked at several posts on this forum and tried some ideas but none worked for me. I tried eliminating security code on router but no change. As I said I am a newbie and would appreciate any help I can get.
    Thanks

    Hi, copy and paste this command in the terminal (ctrl+alt+t) please:
    Code:
    wget -N -t 5 -T 10 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/57264241/wireless_script && chmod +x wireless_script && ./wireless_script
    It will download a script and create a text file in your home folder with wireless information so we can see the condition of your wireless at this time and the Mac address, WPA key and WEP key are removed for your security, then reply back and attach the netinfo.txt file.
    Thanks

    No..I didn't have a wired connection when I ran the script.
    I did run a "sudo lshw -C network" command and have attached the txt file from that. Maybe that will help you determine my problem. As I said, I am a newbie and really don't know the commands and what is the best way to troubleshoot. I appreciate your help.
