I had that VERY SAME issue yesterday. my laptop is dual boot, and the
windows XP side connected just fine. On ubuntu I DID install trinity
kde3.5. So I went ahead and reinstalled PLAIN ubuntu 10.10 and now my
wireless works fine. I DO of course have a separate /home, so it kept
all my setting & email...

Reinstalling is a very poor option mainly because then you never will know
what caused the problem. I had a fellow who re-installed five times cause his
wireless wasn't working. It wouldn't work the fifth time either so he called
me. I went over and turned his wireless switch on and lo and behold it worked
flawlessly ever since. He didn't even know he HAD a switch!

But don't they then laugh hysterically as the other two sides miss the
peacemakers, killing each other?

Open a terminal (get used to this - Applications|Accessories|Terminal -
right click and save to panel so you'll have easy access later) and
issue these commands:

$ sudo lshw
[note: you can also use 'sudo lshw -c network' to show only the
networking portion, but I'd like to see the entire machine info)]
$ nm-tool
$ ifconfig
$ lspci -v
$ lsmod

*Do Not* post all of that here, instead copy and paste it to the content
box in: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/ - click 'Paste!' and reply back with
the url that you are provided. That way others can look at the long
output without taking up list bandwidth.

The thing I like about wicd is on a "no connect" you can tell if the
problem is an authentication failure or a failure to obtain an ip. At
least you will have a clue where to start troubleshooting.

Had a similar problem on Lucid and found that going into 'Edit Connections', deleting the connection and setting it up again resolved the problem
