Seems like the wireless area in ubuntu lacks some usable guides. I am trying to configure a standard, very cheap piece of USB Wireless stick of the brand Sweex (model: LC100040. based upon the Zydas 1211 chipset) on an old laptop COMPAQ armada M700 series. Found som standard drivers in the ubuntu universe repository and even thou I can find some networks with this driver, I cannot connect to any of them. Not even my own wlan-router, which worked fine in windows. Next step is trying out a zd1211 guide I found at an ubuntu forum (Howto Zydas 1211 with Ubuntu EDGY). Will get back to the result of this one..

Several “Invalid” messages when entering lwconfig
