About the dmesg, apparently there's too many "smilies" in it, so I can't post it.

Thanks!

This is your wireless card:

And this driver module is loading for it:

Your card needs firmware for it to work. The firmware can be downloaded here:
http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/iw...-15.28.1.6.tgz
In Ubuntu, you would unpack the downloaded file and place the firmware in the /lib/firmware/<current kernel> folder. Ubuntu should already have the firmware preinstalled, so that may not be the problem.

The output of dmesg may give you a clue as to what the problem is. By the way, you can disable the smilies when making a post. Just check the box to disable smilies, below the window where you enter the post.
