I am running 10.04 with the latest updates on an MSI 1719 (GX700) laptop and am unable to get it to connect to my wireless network.
It sees the available networks and allows me to go through the setup process but always fails to connect after I input the pass key.
As per a response I found here, I am posting the following information:

I have verified that the package "wpasupplicant" is installed.
And I initially thought that it must be a problem with my router so I did a hard reset on it and set it up from scratch with basically just the defaults so I seriously doubt that's the problem.
