Wireless Ubuntu success

Finally managed to connect to the Web using Ubuntu and my home wireless network. The default Gnome network admin tool didn’t do the job so I had to manually edit the /etc/network/interfaces file to read:

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.2.1
wireless-essid cloudsoup
wireless-key **********
wireless-channel 11
wireless_mode Managed

where ********** is my WEP key, of course. The thing that really swung it was that wireless_mode Managed line.

Took a long time.
