Hi,
here you have some logs I save today.
I took a look at Brian request, and today I did os updates to ubunto.e.e.6.10 installed yesterday. I was kind of afraid to loose wifi again, but its still there after all updates have finished. Although after all updates have finished a strange behavior to gnome, the top menu shown only the net icon and all other icons and menus have disappeared, also the bottom taskbar did only show waste basked although I had several text-editors open and minimized I could only access them trough alt+tab. I had to go to tty1 to login and be able to shutdown.
Anyway after re-boot uee.6.10 was now showing normal top and bottom gnome ubunto look, and better yet wifi was still working.
Then I run uff.7.04 livecd to collect requested files and surprise, after changed to my ssid and wep key, the usb nic associated to a neighbors AccessPoint apparently it is open.
Then I installed uff.7.04 to an available hd partition (to dev/sda6 (hd0,5)), but no luck in having access to my own AP. Still the neighbor's AP was more appealing to ubuntu, but after new configuration to my own ssid and wep keys, now iwconfig shows correct my ssid but it was not able to associate to it.
By the way, at the last step of install of uff.7.04 I think the install program should had ask me if I wanted to have a new location to grub, but no, grub have been just newly installed to dev/sda6 instead of updating already available grub menu.lst available in uee.6.10 partition in dev/sda5 (hd0,4).

Good luck with attached logs, and thanks in advance.
Best regards, nil_pt
