There shouldn't be a firewall running.
First thing to check is encryption. Does the router have WEP or WPA?
If this isn't the problem...
I had a similar problem with my mini-pci WiFi.
In my case... I needed to remove IPv6
Open a terminal window....
$ sudo gedit
replace
alias net-pf-10 ipv6
with the following four lines (the off gives a clue to what it's doing)
alias net-pf-10 ipv6 off
alias net-pf-10 off
alias ipv6 off
#alias net-pf-10 ipv6
Reboot...
Check it's worked by typing
$ ip a | grep inet6
You may also wish to blacklist it (a good idea if it gets you a connection)
sudo echo "blacklist ipv6" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
The above inserts the blacklist line into the relevent blacklist file. This
may give you a brief warning on boot up. That's nothing to worry about.
