I'm running 10.04 and having trouble getting my wireless adapter to connect. It tries, but it ends up asking me for authorization endless times and not connecting anyway. After I give the authorization, it tells me it's "setting network address, and right-clicking on the icon shows me "activating," but it never does. Here are the outputs from the commands I suspect are relevant. I just don't know where to go next. Thanks in advance.
