This is the output from the corrected code. No change yet.

Just tried that corrected code. No help, any ideas?

Can you tell anything from the output?

*Edit: sorry for the double post.

Any firmware issues shown

Code: Select all

dmesg | grep -i firmware

Code: Select all

dmesg | grep ucode

You could check

Code: Select all

iwlist scan

and look through the results for your router..look for TKIP, if it is listed it will cause problems. You want to see CCMP for group and pairwise ciphers, CCMP is the same as AES and is far more secure than TKIP

I entered all three in, the last output was this ....

That is the reply, I really hope that it helps to identify whats going on. I can see my network, but it just keeps cycling through and asking me to enter password and connect. Odd ... hope that info helps. I do think its being blocked somehow in my system.

Are you using UFW(GUFW) aka linux firewall? That could block a lot of things you don't intend it to block. It won't hurt to set the country code

Code: Select all

sudo iw reg set US

and reboot

I would edit your connections in Network Manager to IPv6 ignore

Done, no change.

Next step?

Did you use Network Manager to setup connections or did you edit files? If you don't have much software installed, I would almost suggest a fresh install and install the firmware-b43-installer and see if it works then

So basically, everything should be already working. Which is what leads me to believe that its something easily overlooked.

Maybe I should just resign myself to the fact that I don't have wifi anymore.

You could test with no encryption on the router, or just reboot the router and see if things are fixed. Have you checked to see if there are any updates for the firmware on the router?
