have you got wicd installed? it's a replacement for the endlessly
sucky network-manager (or something like that). it's a drop-in, no
need to change any config, but it makes things so much easier, and
it's in the ubuntu repos. i'd recommend that, and then come back if
things aren't fixed. even if it doesn't sort your problem, i'd suggest
using it
