I wasn't trying to be mean
I just read your post as saying "I've got my card into monitor mode but I can't connect to my AP"
Don't rely on the GUI connection tools.
Use the CLI instead. It's much more reliable.
Then, you can post the steps you are taking and any errors you may be receiving.
It's much easier to attempt to help you then........

using the terminal....
Heres how i go:
ifconfig eth1 up= turn my wireless on
iwlist eth1 scan= scan for connections in my area
iwconfig eth1 essid "essid name" mode "mode the AP is in" channel "the channel the AP is on" = connect my wireless card to the AP...(i think)
dhclient eth1=i try it and finds ports and stuff but doenst connect.
(i would post what the terminal shows but im not near any wireless now to get what it shows... sorry)
idk what to do from there...
i pick up multiple signals that are not encryped, they are open. i get my wireless card (Broadcom 4306) to scan and pick up signals, i just cant and dont know how to get it to connect to the AP i pick up and connect to the internet.
any help is awesome!
thanks again dudez
Hmmmm
eth1?? are you sure isn't that ethernet?
For wireless shouldn't it be wlan0?? or ath0?? depending on the card.
Yeah, eth1 is ethernet also, what card are you using?awesome dude this forum is extremely nice.

for example, I use atheros chipset card so My commands are
airmon-ng stop ath0
ifconfig wifi0 down
airmon-ng start wifi0
airodump-ng ath0
Plain & simple & never failed me - there are various ways to do this but that's my way
there are tons of posts regarding how to do this & video tuts as well
I thought he was originally asking how to connect to the internet....
ifconfig eth1 up
iwconfig eth1 essid (ie. linksys) key (7832467823 or whatever)
dhcpcd eth1
that should get you online.
