I have Linksys E1000 Wireless router with WPA2 Personal security enabled. My problem is that when I type my password (which is 8 char), the Linux connect box stays greyed out. I have gone through a lot of Googling by now and have managed to come this far (my wireless card initially was not detected during Mint installation).
I am on old laptop (Compaq Evo N410c) with PCMCIA card Linksys Wireless-G WPC54G ver2 (detected, as mentioned below).
Please help me setup Wireless connection. I have everything else working fine. I broke my main laptop and I am on a backup here.
Thanks in advance.
