Sorry it took me so long, and also my apologies for not inserting
commentary into this syslog, but i didn't quite understand how to do
that.
This is off of the 7.10 LiveCD, where I first tried selecting my usual
wifi network from Network Manager ("*essid*" in the log). It claimed to
have a strong connection, but nothing would load. So I went about all of
the usual solutions: I disabled "roaming mode" and manually entered my
connection. This used to be "ra0" in previous versions of Ubuntu, but in
7.10 is called "wlan0". In all versions, however, Ubuntu always adds the
suffix ":avahi" to the connection - as in "wlan0:avahi" - which doesn't
exist and therefore effectively kills the connection.
The connection I then had was either still dead or too weak to be
functional. I tried an experiment which had worked in the past: I
invented a fictional essid named "test", tried connecting to it, and
shortly thereafter reconnected to my usual network. I got some sort of a
signal which allowed me to run a Google search, but little else. It
dropped out a bit later.
Hope this is at all useful. thanks again for everything you do.
