Laptop recognizes WiFI but fails to connect
I recently replaced my modem with built in wireless and since then linux will not connect.
It recognizes the WiFi, and attempts to connect, but tells me I am dissconnected. I haven't been able to repair the connection by resetting the modem, my laptop.

ok let's do this it will give us all the information needed.
What's the name of your wifi? and does it show in network manager (network icon at the bottom of your screen)
Could you please use this? open terminal and copy paste this:

Re: Laptop recognizes WiFI but fails to connect
you did send me the script not the output of it?
you have to copy paste the command I gave you, it will run and save a file, that's the one we need.

wireless-info.txt or wireless-info.tar.gz in your home folder (if you did execute it in you home directory)
Re: Laptop recognizes WiFI but fails to connect
I'm not trying to interfere but merely to point out that it's possible that a PC can 'see' a wi-fi station but the station's signal is too weak to lock onto and open up the connection.
Re: Laptop recognizes WiFI but fails to connect
I put the script into terminal, and it made a file, I copied and pased the file.
