Hi guys,

Just in case it helps ... I was having the same problem and the best way I 
found to get over this situation was just to remove:
#wireless-essid mySSID
#wireless-key myWirelessKey

then reboot. After that the icon showing signal strength appeared in the
quick launch bar. Clicking on it shows all available SSIDs. When I
selected my one it prompted for the paraphrase I used when I set up my
WEP KEY. After inserting it I was connected to my wireless network.

I am running:

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 6.10
Release:        6.10
Codename:       edgy

Thanks,

-Nestor
