When you used wicd did you change the settings to use wext? I have a
hazy but insistent memory that this was key to getting the card

wicd and network-manager didn't play nicely together and had to
disable network-manager.

Hi Dean, Yes, it did have preferences set to wext. And I have removed
networkManager. I note that a lot of people on the forums still
didn't have success at this point, and I also am stuck.
I am now at the state where I am going to download to USB a new
installation of Ubuntu and start again, in case it is some of the
historic stuff that I have done with this computer that is affecting
it. It gives a bad passphrase error even though I have checked the
passphrase in /etc/wicd/wireless_settings.conf and they are identical
to the router.
I will not be at the meeting on Tuesday, but I'll buy you a beer when
we do meet.
Cheere,

I have officially given up on this. I installed Ubuntu 12.04 and got
that ugly Unity thing, and was able to get the card working without
security, but couldn't get wpa-supplicant working. at this point I
couldn't get my USB wireless device working wither, so that's it. I'm
putting fedora 17 on the laptop just to have something to work with.
On to the next problem. Why doesn't Kaffeine play more than one track of
my CDs? The clue may be in another query here on the lug about the
naming of Cd drives in /dev.
