wireless works w windows, not work w ubuntu 11.10
The problem is that my wireless works at some places, but it doesn't work at my home. Windows has no problem at all to connect wirelessly at home. My laptop is a Toshiba L655-1JN. The computer recognizes the ssid name it keeps asking me to enter the password, but it does not connect. I switched off the security but still,it makes no difference.
From the terminal I get the following information:
