Yes, there is now connection. Only two little questions: 1. The interface is eth1 - shouldnt it be wlan0, as iwconfig lists it when there is no wireless? also, the icon in the top menubar in Gnome is not a wireless icon, and now that I am connected its tooltip says "No network connection". The other net icon says "Network connection: lo"
2. The default roaming mode located my net ok. But when I switched off roaming mode and entered the WEP key (ascii) then it could not connect. Then I switched off roaming and entered again, then success. Below is what I got with your two last commands. So .. nearly ok. My list of post-install-things-to-do is getting shorter: the fonts are smoother but still a poor selection of monospace fonts, all of which are much better on black-on-white than white-on-black. And too many fonts all in a long long list, good and bad together. Same with file color schemes: they have to be adjusted according to the window background. I always have to make directories blue background and white foreground because I use white-on-black, for example. I, and my fellow workers, spend all our time in Emacs, but Ubuntu does not have a decent Emacs-setup (with harmonic subdued colors for the most popular modes and fonts loaded) whereas for example Mandrivadrake has. Then a question i often get is "whats the difference between [OK] button and [close] button - are the settings saved with [close]?" The prompt (which I prefer as '(\h) \w> ') cannot be set under profile it seems. Ok, i shouldnt write all this here. Thanks for helping.
