Ok, I will edit my original post then with the updated info. Just in case there is some confusion, I am currently using a USB stick to connect to the internet, but I have the internal wireless card turned on as well.
snowcraig,
There is a problem with your wireless device, it does not seem to support WPA. Could you do some googling on the topic and check it out? You might not be the only one having this issue.
It did support WPA when I had XP installed on the computer. It doesn't appear that the driver Ubuntu comes with for the device supports WPA however. Is there a way around that?
Yes, using "ndiswrapper" could solve the problem.
I wrote a tutorial on Ralink drivers and the use of ndiswrapper once, it might still do the job:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=563547
If not, search for ndiswrapper. I believe it's the way to go in your case.
I have tried WPA supplicant, no luck there. I want to try ndiswrapper, but all I can find for the driver are windows installers, and I can't seem to find a way to get the actual driver files out of them. Anyone have any suggestions?
