Belkin Wireless Trouble

Jul 20, 2010 2:59AM PDT

I have a belkin N Wireless Express Card #F5D8073 and am wondering how i can get it to work. I am Running a WPA-WPA2 network and is can see it but it can't connect to it. Even though the router is of the same brand. I have a Gateway MT 3705 and running Ubuntu 10.04

Thank you,
Megaherz
