Hi,
I've recently switched from windows to linux and am running ubuntu 7.10 single-boot on my asus fs3v laptop. I've gotten pretty much everything setup properly, except the wireless card. Up until a few weeeks ago I was able to connect to wifi, but only to open networks - but not to any networks with wep or wpa. i tried following the instructions on forum posts to fix this:

http://www.linlap.com/wiki/Configuring+the+iwl4965+driver+for+the+Intel+4965A GN+wireless+controller,
others which I unfortunately don't remember)
but I seem to be worse off now than when I started... can anyone offer a newbie some help? Here's where I'm at now:
In network manager I see only the option for wired network - no wireless options, no SSID's detected. I was seeing SSID's before.
If I go to network tools I see 3 wireless adapters: wmaster0 (shows as "unknown interface"), wlan0, which is configurable, and wlan0:avahi, which has an IPv4 address, but when I click to configure it I get the error "the interface does not exist".
Here is my output for lshw -C network:

Why do I have three wireless interfaces? Do I need to use ndiswrapper with this driver, even though iwlwifi is native (as I understand...)? Any advice would be much appreciated...
Thanks.
