okay, problem solved, for some reason it was no longer loaded in modprobe
----------------------------------
Okay, just kidding. Everything worked well, it loaded my home page, so i posted that on my friends computer, but then when i tried loading anything other than google.ca it didnt work. I rebooted, and tried again, but its still not working.
iwconfig tells me this:
Code:
lo no wireless extensions

eth0 no wireless extensions.
sit0 no wireless extensions.
If i try and activate the device via Network Device Control (which was working before i edited this post) it waits for a bit, and finally tells me:
"Determining IP information for wlan0...PING 192.xxx.0.1 (192.xxx.0.1) from 192.xxx.0.100 wlan0: 56(84) bytes of data.
