    Ubuntu 11.10 can't connect with wifi

    Hey
    I didn't use my computer for 4 days and when I returned yesterday I got a problem... I cant connect with my network. Ubuntu shows all networks but it can't connect with them. I dont know why. I have normal internet only while it's trying to connect and when I type
    Code:
    /etc/init.d/networking restart
    it shows:
    Code:
    root.muhahaha:/home/karol# /etc/init.d/networking restart
 * Running /etc/init.d/networking restart is deprecated because it may not enable again some interfaces
 * Reconfiguring network interfaces...                                          Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded.
PPP session is 45
Connected to 00:0c:42:b1:24:ca via interface wlan0
Using interface ppp0
Connect: ppp0 <--> wlan0
CHAP authentication succeeded
peer from calling number 00:0C:42:B1:24:CA authorized
local  IP address 82.160.78.217
remote IP address 10.0.0.2
primary   DNS address 10.0.0.2
                                                                         [ OK ]
    Its just 1 - 2 mins. I have windows on other partition too and everything is good there. What should I do?
    I tried with wicd but it cant connect too
    sorry for my english

    EDIT:

    Is something wrong with this?
    Any solutions?

    I already connected : O
    I found this solution
    Code:
    sudo ifconfig <interface> down
sudo dhclient -r <interface>
sudo ifconfig <interface> up
sudo iwconfig <interface> essid "ESSID_IN_QUOTES"
sudo iwconfig <interface> key HEX_KEY <<<-------- If using ASCII Equivalent, this is s:ASCII_KEY (please make note of the prefix s:)
****Additional Comand that may be needed  -- sudo iwconfig <interface> key open  <<<----See note below
sudo iwconfig <interface> mode Managed
sudo dhclient <interface>
    1. I did it and it stucks on sudo shclient wlan0 but I have connection.
    2. Got 1 problem with password
    Code:
    root@muhahaha:/home/karol# iwconfig wlan0 key s:xxxxx (letters and numbers)
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
    SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
    but in spite of I have normal conenction

    btw. I have pppoe connection and i Have key for my network so I dont know why there is encryption off in
    Code:
    root@muhahaha:~# iwlist wlan0 scan
wlan0     Scan completed :
