Wireless not working on ASUS laptop PR031F
Loaded Ubuntu 10.10 on my ASUS PR031F but could not get a wireless connection after providing the SSID and WPA2 password. The wireless access point was configured with MAC address access control but this laptop was connecting for several years running XP with its existing MAC address so I figured that it would work OK with Ubuntu once I gave the password.
Here is my system output:
