This is kinda strange.

The router is set fine and I can see it from a Mac and from 2 mobile phones. Is WEP protected and not hidden or other tricks, as it comes from the box. My Ubuntu is 10.04 on HP Pavillion DV1000.

When I try to connect from Ubuntu, it does see other networks (10 or more) but not my own. I've tried restarts, ifconfig up/down, rfkill block/unblock wifi, installing b43-fwcutter and nothing works.

I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks
