Which encryption do you use? Try pure WPA2-AES (CCMP). Check you router manual

[dinodxr]

why change encryption? i connect just fine with my macbook and iphone in my wifi router.

[dinodxr]

and even without any active security in my router, still ubuntu can't connect.

[praseodym]

Your other devices do not use an Ahteros chip. They are known to be "special"

[dinodxr]

who has atheros? you are not helping dude.

[dinodxr]

you are not helping guys, just tellin' me to run commands in terminal (commands that none of you explain me what they do), i told you i'm a new user here but if can't have wifi on laptop running ubuntu 12.04 and an intel 2200 card then maybe i'll switch again to mac.

[dinodxr]

240views on this thread and only four people care to help me with my problem. (?!) also the first admin disappeared.

[praseodym]

As I mentioned here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...5#post12737085 I am aware you are NOT using an Atheros chip. Confusion in #15

On which channel does you router send? Check

iwlist chan

how many channels are available. Set the channel to fixed mode if only 1-11 are shown.

Edit: Encryption to pure WPA2-AES, not mixed WPA/WPA2
