aircrack-ng

I'm sure I did something dumb during the install for aircrack, but I have no clue what. Like I said, I can connect to my router (not trying to crack, simply logging into it), I just can't get internet access.

To make this more interesting, the machine is dual booted and when I log into Windows I have zero issues. I feel like some driver may have been messed up in the process, but I'm not sure if that's a reasonable assumption or how exactly to check that.

Also, can't revert to backup as there are none.

Suggestions on how to trouble-shoot would be appreciated.

EDIT: Hard-wiring to the wall I can get internet access on the Ubuntu side...

PS- I know this is a stretch as far as fitting the Ubuntu section, but no other stackoverflow sites seemed to fit better.
