Freshly installed ubuntu from that awful piece of junk called windows vista, and I have been having trouble getting my wireless connection to work. It is fine if I plug my laptop into my modem, but using my wireless card has no effect, it just keeps asking me for my keyphrase over and over, even though I know the password is right for the connection. What should I do?

In many cases, there is an open source driver for your card, but no open source firmware. If you are using NDISwrapper, try downloading the latest driver from the manufacturer's website. Blacklist the current driver set, and re wrap the new driver.
If your wireless is made by broadcom (and a lot are) you may be in for interesting ride.

Seems to be a common complaint for Ubuntu. Wish I could help. We kept Vista for our wireless stuff, but use Ubuntu for everything else.

WEP or WPA and do you have the right one set?
One or more of these should help:
