Honestly I can't say I did anything to fix it but they are both working fine now. Maybe I managed to get some updates that fixed the problem for my hardware. Anyway, I don't have a solution for you but I can offer a tip to hopefully get you on the path to a solution. Other team members may have more insight on this and I welcome their input. 1. Run the "dmesg" command, and look for any error messages related to your wifi card. 2. Cut and paste the text of the error into you favourite search engine 3. Look for Lauchpad bug reports in the search results. 4. Check out any bug reports you find. You will hopefully find some details on the error and sometimes people post workarounds. At the very least, you can usually get some info on the current state of the bug. Happy hunting.

I can see my wireless network, but when I try to connect the icon indicates that it's trying, just never succeeds. I'm running WEP shared key (Iknow, I know... it's the lowest common demoninator for some OLD hardware). The hardware is realtek RTL 8187SE.
