Hello, i have an older computer from my father (HP Pavilion zv5168ea)
and i decided to install a Xubuntu distro (tried 11.10, now 11.04) for
my personal use, but i can't get a wireless connection to my router (i'm
using WPA-personal encryption but tried with open and nothing). The
driver is installed, i can see wifi essid on NetworkManager but the
connection is never carried out. I've installed
firmware-b43legacy-installer because it has the driver for this card but
nothing...

This is the output of lspci -vnn (only wireless card part)
