I followed the guide you suggested. Right clicking on the Network manager icon brings up a check box to enable / disable wirless which wasn't there before but it still isn't noticing the Wireless network, which is on as my PC running XP is connected using it.
Here is the output from iwconfig:
Code:
iwconfig

Thanks for your help so far, and I understand about life, it does have a way of getting in the way.
