[aysiu]

What's the exact command you're trying to run?

It ended up that I had made an error in typing. My mistake and I have successfully gotten a wireless connection!

However, Firefox will not connect to anything. "Can't find server" on any website I try. What should I look for?

[praseodym]

Check in Firefox->Settings->Network if proxy is activated. Also check the system proxy settings.

Lets see afterwards:

route -n
cat /etc/resolv.conf
ifconfig -a
iwconfig
iwlist chan
sudo iwlist scan

[Stob]

Firefox is set at "use system proxy settings".

There is a lot of info after the commands you show, what are you looking for? Lot of "cells"

[praseodym]

Please show "your" cell

[Stob]

There are 13 cells. I have to type these out, so I'll show cell 1:

Is it the full entry for cell 1? Can you show the other outputs (copy them into a txt file)
