Ubuntu 7.04 WiFi

Hey!

I just downloaded 7.04, since it was the only one I could find, and I am not able to connect to my home wifi. It will say "connected", but no internet. Then, it says it needs the WEP passphrase; but I am using WPA!?!?

Edit: My PC is an Acer 3680, which uses an Atheros card.

I am downloading 7.10, seeing if it helps.

Any help?

I hope you get help. Because I have the exact same problem with my PS3.

What wireless card are you using?

Also; some WPA2 protection does not work with certain cards. Might want to try different types of protection; like WEP and/or MAC address filtering.

Ah, the WPA-WEP problem happened to me too. Upgrading to 7.10 fixed it, but for some strange reason, my signal keeps dying every 5 minutes or so.... Tell me if that happens to you once you try upgrading.

i have the same issue with my acer laptop. There are several resources online. Check if your distro has a driver utility where it can read windows drivers, then at that case, downloading the windows driver is cake! I now use Mandriva and i still have to use the same method, but it works like a charm for acer products, as far as i know.
