I installed ubuntu for the first time (first time ever using linux) i used my friends wireless card to update but when i got home and put in my wireless card it asks me for a password i put in my password, it tries to connect for 20-40 seconds and then it asks again for password.. and every other device i have has had no problem connecting with the same password and network?

If you are able to change your wireless router's settings, examine the Channel Width and Mode. I find that some network cards, particularly those with older chipsets, have trouble making and maintaining connections to routers with a Channel Width of 40MHz (or a router set to auto, which can adjust itself among multiple widths). For me, the solution was to change Channel Width to 20MHz.

Open Network Connections

Got to the «Wireless» tab and choose your net. Enter the BSSID. It is something like «00:11:22:33:44:55»

Finally, check the «Wireless Security» tab. The most common security protocol is WEP (Hex or ASCII), but you can try other options.
