So I'm trying to recover from a hugely failed upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10.

I can get my system to boot to console but not to desktop. So from the console I'm trying to fix broken packages. But I cannot access my network.

I'm on the live cd now and I can connect to the wireless network.

Here is my chain of events from console when booting without live cd, trying to obtain network access - 

~$ ifconfig wlan0 up
~$ iwlist wlan0 scan 
~$ iwconfig wlan0 essid "dd-wrt"
~$ dhclient wlan0

I should say my network is named dd-wrt, and it is unsecured

Do I need quotes on like I have?

So home come this isn't connecting?

I could not spare any more time trying to repair my upgrade so I deja duped my home folder and anything else I needed to a external drive and did a fresh install. Thanks anyway, and I will certainly use the links provided above in the future.
