Never used the things myself but you could look through

I have installed a clean ubuntu 9.10 (and 10.04 beta) and can only connect when encryption is switched off.
I have tried mad wifi drivers but im still struggling, I have asked on the ubuntu forums but so far not had a response..
I think it must be one of the kernel updates but im not sure how to go back and find older kernels..
Im back to using windows now (which I dont mind) but i like ubuntu and was happy with it...
If anyone can help I would appreciate it....

Although i`ve never had problems with Gnomes network manager since the static ip debacle 2 or 3 versions back i still prefer to use wicd on the laptops. We all use it here on our laptops & netbooks in fact. Perhaps you could have tried that instead.
I still actually use the /etc/network/interfaces file for the 2 network cards on my Desktop. A throwback to the static ip issue and of course the lack of issues with the 2 or 3 upgrades the Desktops went through since then.

Possibly a silly question but have you tried the obvious step of removing of the external drive and rebooting?
When you say it crashed though what exactly happened? Did it just freeze the whole Desktop when you connected the external drive or did it give some kind of error message about not being able to mount the thing?
we`ve got umpteen external drives here for one thing or another but we`ve never had any problems with any of them on *buntu. In fact, i just plug any 2.5" Sata drive into one or two external enclosures i use just for that job.
