Wireless not working

[riptreeper]

Ok I just installed Ubuntu 8.04 on my second hard disk and my wireless won't work.

My wireless network shows up and all that and when I type my network key in it just keeps trying to connect to the network and then keeps popping up the same screen to keep putting in my passkey.

I'm running a VAIO Ar 520 series with an Intel wireless wifi link 4965 agn.

Thanks for any help

Anyone else having this issue

More importantly, is anyone not having this issue?

Please don't bump every 15 minutes. We will answer your question even if it falls off the front page.

Anyway, Intel wifi cards are pretty good with drivers... I am not sure if you have a good installation. Do this:

lspci | grep intel

And post it here.

[riptreeper]

Nothing came up

Sorry put an I instead of 1

Anyways

bash: 1spci: command not found

Close, but not quite... it's a small caps "L"

lspci | grep intel

[riptreeper]

yeah nothing happens

Anything else I should try

[southernman]
