try to install network-manager-gnome in synaptics and you should have a network icon in the notification tray area

If you install network-manager-gnome you should comment out the wifi interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces.

I'm not certain that that is the problem though. Does system->administration->networking even show the wireless card?

Maybe one of the documents on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs can help, specifically https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Madwifi

I'm also not familiar with the Roper wifi cards, could you give anymore information about them? Do you know which chipset they use? I belive it's one supported by madwifi from some quick googling.

Hi. Is there a driver to enable the Westell WiFi card 802.11g - model # A90-200wg-01? Thanks for any help available.

Can you help with this problem?
