I guess the problem that
I guess the problem that the wireless connection wasnt activated, but the card was detected automtically by Ubuntu. And the link above will do the job enshallah. But i commected out the lines with // not # ..so i dont know if it make any diffrence or not.
But unfortunatly it's not working now ..i dont know why ..i'm writing this reply under windows :( the wirless connection went down two days ago .. and i coudnt recover the connection .. I love ubuntu but i got tired of asking and searching about everything besra7a .. i always feel like an ignorant who has a computer and doesnt have any idea about it or how to use it. i know there is a solution for everything but i have that feeling that GUI linx distributions are just a painkiller .. you have to know how to deal with the real linux to solve your problems.
I hope i will be wrong.
try another one
i think u will feel better when u try another distro
i recommend u mandriva or suse

that doesn't look comfort for me...
I think every user has to try much distro coz its matter of taste
I Was Known as POSIX
OFcourse there is a solution ..
i think using another distro for such a problem is a bad idea .. cause just knowing that there is a problem is the first way to solution ..
you can check ubuntuforums or try to ask on ubuntu chat channel, i guess there is some around use the same card with the great ubuntu ..
if you are sure that your card is configured well :
use command : sudo iwlist scan
if you can see it then it is working try to configure your connection with help from this article depending on your conditions .. it helped me alot ..
