Hey i have a wi-fi prob the network configuration detects my Intel Pro Wireless 2200BG Network Connection. The Network Manager detects it and i created the profile and set everything to auto. When i come to activate it i get the SET failed on device eth1 : Invalid arguement. i have deleted alll the profiles and then created and new one then rebooted and it has not worked. I am on an Acer 9504WSMi. The Wi-fi works fine under windows as i have it dual-booted. Also the wi-fi is meant to light up when it is working but when the network manger tryes to activate it nothing happends. Hope you can help, this is a fresh install and i have appyed no updates.

Also my Hardware says it ok and all my other ethernet adapters say Configured
Hope you can help
