intel 5300 wireless card not working

if i run a scan in terminal i get the following:


Channel:1
                    Frequency:2.412 GHz (Channel 1)
                    Quality=70/70  Signal level=-39 dBm 
                    Encryption key:off
                    ESSID:"linksys"
                    Bit Rates:1 Mb/s; 2 Mb/s; 5.5 Mb/s; 11 Mb/s; 6 Mb/s
                              9 Mb/s; 12 Mb/s; 18 Mb/s
                    Bit Rates:24 Mb/s; 36 Mb/s; 48 Mb/s; 54 Mb/s
                    Mode:Master

which means it is detecting my wireless router. why can i not connect to it at all?

Cheers

If that's all the info you can give, how do you expect people to help you? At least be so kind to share with us what you tried, besides scanning...

Gentle push to the Newbie corner.

Re: intel 5300 wireless card not working

This should get it going

sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid network key password
sudo dhcpcd wlan0 

network = network name and password = network key
