The network connection I created has the correct SSID, is checked to connect automatically and be available to all users, is set to Infrastructure mode, has nothing in the BSSID or MAC address fields and has MTU: set to automatic. Security is set to none and IPv4 settings are Automatic DHCP. DHCP client ID is blank. IPv6 Settings are set to ignore. This would connect straight away on a Windows machine so I don't know what is wrong with it.

was after I rebooted and I forgot to redo the modprobe command. So I guess that means that it is loading automatically anyway. It's just not working
It seems that the device is working propberly, you should check if you've configured the connection properly if it doesn't work. The dhcpcd command will try to get an IP-configuration from the DHCP server.
Well, I don't have any experience with Ubuntu, I'd recommend to google for information about how they aquire an IP-configuration when using DHCP. Or try to install the dhcpcd-package from the repository, I hope your wired connection is working???
Do you have an installationmedium? maybe you'll install it from there.
Ok Markus, and thanks a lot for trying to help me.
I might try loading Mint or PCLinuxOS instead.
I just want to take a look at modX and I can't get it going on Windows7 so I thought I'd load Linux, apache, mysql and modx and try again.
