Wireless Connectivity with Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04

[pixie44]

Hi ...
I am new to ubuntu.
I am having trouble in connecting to wireless internet. after much brainstorming and searching the internet for solutions i was able to have the wlan0 up and running

now my iwlist wlan0 scan list the rounters (including my own). the only hitch that i feel now is that wlan0 is setup using IPV6 and i dont think my router supports that.

I tried different options of disabling the IPV6 by ammending the /etc/modprobe.d/aliases but IPV6 is not going away.
Do note that when I use my eternet wire for connecting to Internet, it works fine (a bit slow though)
Please let me know if you guys can bail me out

Have you checked the wireless guide

add this to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist with "blacklist ipv6", then reboot.

Thanks for quick response. I did and redid these steps but does not help. wired internet works like a charm but wireless is a problem

thanks for the reply. well when i do that i am unable to see any IPs on the network tools window. blacklisting IPV6 takes away both IPv4 and IPv6
