    Got the wireless to work correctly now. Re-installed via wubi to get back to a base-line. Found that I needed to use iwconfig to set the channel to 11 (the one my access point is on) then use "Connect to Other Wireless Network" to enter the pass key. Unfortunately had to do this on each boot, even if I had said "always" to the keykeeper applet. So went through add/remove and added the applet called "Network Selector" since then no problems at all.

    Bet you have a USB keyboard.

    Does it work in your BIOS? Even if it does check the keyboard setting.

    Try a different USB port, esp don't connect using a USB hub.

    Update your BIOS.

    Try a PS/2 keyboard and when in Ubuntu get it to update itself, may cure the problem.

    Do a google search for USB keyboard and Grub.
