Hey, guys, first post here.

I've been running Hardy since May and I have no trouble connecting to secure networks. Ubuntu recognizes the unsecure networks and even displays signal strength, but whenever I try to connect, it fails. Think hot spots and neighbors wireless, I’ve yet to connect successfully with ubuntu to these.
I usually use a secure network but right now I’m in a hotel and I can't get on the wifi so I’m stuck in their crappy computer room 'til you guys can help me fix it.

I'm running on a Toshiba satellite A105-S4132

The wireless card is an Intel Pro/wireless 3945ABG (rev 02)
PA3489U-1MPC

The wireless is set to roam.

I appreciate it, thanks.
