So, here's the big deal. I recently installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS alongside my Windows 7 install. It's great, all of the drivers are working, and I love the graphical effects! Anyway, I can't get it to connect to my home network. It is in range (sitting right next to it on my laptop) and it connects to other networks perfectly. It's just WPA that's giving me grief. Can somebody help me here as would like to install some apps but cannot with no access to Ubuntu Software Center!

Check if your router has WPS enabled. If your wireless card doesnt support it, or if Ubuntu doesnt support it, you wont be able to connect to the network. Also check that your encryption settings for WPA are the same as the router.
