    Question Please help a newbie with wireless problems!

    As the title of the e-mail suggests, I know nothing about the technical side of ubuntu, and am having problems connecting to the internet via a wireless connection. I am using an Intel PRO Wireless 3945 ABG network connection, and whilst ubuntu recognises the wireless network I need to connect to, it won't let me actually connect to it. It is a WEP 128 passcode thing (which I have input correctly) and the ipconfig says this:

    lo no wireless extensions.

    eth0 no wireless extensions.

    wmaster0 no wireless extensions.

    wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"" Nickname:""
    Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: 00:18:4D:5D:BA:82
    Bit Rate=54 Mb/s Tx-Power=27 dBm
    Retry min limit:7 RTS thrff Fragment thr=2346 B
    Power Managementff
    Link Quality=82/100 Signal level=-51 dBm Noise level=-127 dBm
    Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
    Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

    Can anyone shed any light on what can be done? If you need any more info then please let me know and I will get it for you.

    Many thanks,
    Ben
