wifi issues

Linux and Unix-Like Ubuntu

Having Issues with wifi in BlackBuntu on my Asus U52F-BBG6 it doesn't see any wifi networks in my neighborhood even though I know they are there. I can connect on my BackTrack 5 R1 side but not on my BlackBuntu side. I have the same network manager Wicd on both my backtrack and blackbuntu but blackbuntu side sees no wifi networks but backtrack does. I haven't figured it out. I have no clue why I can't connect to wifi on my blackbuntu side. I have tried "sudo rfkill unblock all" doesn't work. But I know BlackBuntu has a default network manager but Im not sure if thats the problem or driver issues on BlackBuntu 0.3. I have tried sudo rfkill unblock all it doesn't work.
