My personal router, to which I was able to connect, has gone down following a recent storm that has left it without power. I am now attempting (with his permission) to connect to my roommates unsecured router named 'dlink'.
Although I can view the 'dlink' router, along with many others, I get zero signal once connected. My roommate has no trouble connecting to the router using Windows XP on a Gateway laptop.
I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 on a Gateway Model: MA2A laptop. Included below are the outputs of lspci, lshw -C network, iwconfig, and ifconfig.
I used bcm43xx-fwcutter to cut my firmware for my wireless card.
Any help would be greatly appreciated....
