I'm going to have to go back to Mandriva, as my network atleast worked under that distro. Now under Ubuntu i cannot see a single wireless network. Nothing seems to show why it can't see a network. It is very frustrating. At work i'm having to boot into windows and run Linux under VMWARE.
Very very frustrated.

No, it's just a bit obtuse at the moment because it's not nicely integrated
for you. Run nm-applet (which is in network-manager-gnome). You should also
check that it is in your startup list (System > Preferences > Sessions).
