Kubuntu 7.10 RC/Final
Arch Linux (Don't Panic)
Fedora 8
In every distro I've tried to connect to my wireless network via the gui and console. I've tried changing the router's wireless channel. I've tried turning off WEP encryption. I've tried ndiswrapper and madwifi. I've tried using the latest intel drivers. I've tried asking all the distros forums for help and I haven't gotten anywhere.
The problem is that whenever I try to connect to my router wirelessly all the other computers connected to it are instantly disconnected and the router stops broadcasting its ESSID. Just using iwlist scan will cause the same thing as well, but it also appears to affect all the hotspots in my neighborhood in the same way.
I have none of these problems in Windows XP or Vista.
Output from attempted console connection:
The computer is a HP dv2500t laptop with bluetooth.
