My home computer running Ubuntu 10.04 and have a P5W DH Motherboard. With it comes two wired and one wireless connection. I have tried pretty much everything.

I am probably doing something wrong but what i do not know. The network is not shown in the N900. Just some other ones. I have tried both WPA, WEP and No Security. Nothing shows up. Well.. if i set up a WEP from the N900 it shows up in Ubuntu but are not able to connect.

If someone are running a wireless network with Ubuntu. Please tell me the correct way of doing this.

This is my stat in Ubuntu:
Code:
802.11 WiFi (wlan0)
rtl8187
WPA/WPA2
ip address: 10.42.43.1
broadcast:  10.42.43.255
subnetmask: 255.255.255.0
Code:
~$ iwconfig 
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

eth1      no wireless extensions.

wlan0     IEEE 802.11bg  ESSID:"Riot"  
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.412 GHz  Access Point: Not-Associated   
          Tx-Power=20 dBm   
          Retry  long limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:off

You sure your router isn't set to "n" only?

IIRC, the N900 only sees "b" and "g"

It's not a router it's a wifi integrated to my motherboard. At my knowledge rtl8187 is "g". But i am not sure how to look it up.

Is the wifi card on the motherboard -I take it it's built into the motherboard?- set to act as a router (ad-hoc i belive it's called)?

I guess I'm confused as to what exactly you're trying to accomplish...
