Sorry this may be a long post.
I just installed Ubuntu and it noticed my Ath0 wireless card. I setup my /etc/network/interfaces to this....
# The primary network interface
#auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
name Ethernet LAN card
iface ath0 inet dhcp
name Wireless LAN card
wireless_essid mshome
wireless_mode managed
wireless_ap auto
wireless_keymode open
#auto ath0
When I run iwlist scanning I get this.....

Not sure what the Cell 01 is about.
When I run iwconfig I get this.....

I dont' know where the ESSID "langserv" is coming from. Should be mshome.
I have the wireless monitor going and its showing signals, but I can't do anything with the wireless. I'm at a lost. Anyone give me a hand? Thanks ahead of time.
