At this very moment I am connected through the laptop and the built in card is working. What have I done? Nothing.

When I turned on the machine I had my ZyXel usb plugged in and Ubuntu connected. I then turned on the WiFi switch on the laptop and waited for a scan. A little later I could see both cards in network-manager and the list of all reachable networks. I then forced the inprocomm card to connect and it went into the long useless loop as before. I clicked back on the Zyxel and it reconnected. Clicked again on the Inprocomm, it took a while, not too much and the two little green lights lit one shortly after the other, There I was! I then slipped the usb Zydas stick out and here I am.

The info window shows "WiFi 802.11 (wlan0)" at 53 Mb/s, driver ndiswrapper.

I feel I'll have this problem again tomorrow, but it's getting better. Well, I'm just trying to be optimistic about this whole business.

Here's the last line related to wlan0 in ifconfig. I don't remember seeing it in Gutsy, but I'm likely to be wrong.
