I am running Dapper 6.06 with IPW2100 on a Dell Inspiron 8600. I am using a Linksys 4400N router. I have a win box which connects to this router using static IP over a USB54G adapter, and works fine. I cannot get my Ubuntu laptop to connect wirelessly at all. It recognizes the network name, but always turns up un-associated/disconnected. I've tried this with the default network admin tool and network-manager-gnome, both with the same results. I've been told by some others in the user list that the problem is only with static ip, although I cannot confirm that, since it doesn't work with dhcp either. Configuring the router with or without encryption doesn't change the outcome, nor does adjusting the dbus scripts (as advised in network-manager ubuntu pages). I have taken this system to 5 other locations and had it work flawlessly (using dhcp).
