I can not for the life of me get Ubuntu to connect to my wireless router when I have WPA-PSK security enabled. If I disable it it connects fine, but it will not let me connect otherwise. It seems that this is a common problem, so surely someone out there has tried something that has worked. Any suggestions?

What kind of card and router do you have? What driver are you using for the card? What version of Ubuntu?

Moved to Everything Unix.

I wasn't sure if this would fit in Everything Unix, sorry for making you move it [smile]

I'm on an Intel PROSet/Wireless 3945ABG wireless card, attempting to connect to a Belkin 802.11G router (if you need more specific let me know). I'm unsure of the driver, I believe the default wireless driver of the distro, and I'm running Edgy (6.10).

This guide discusses how to enable WPA manually. It is the guide I successfully followed when I last setup WPA Supplicant on my notebook.

Tried it, it doesn't work. When I do:

sudo wpa_supplicant -ieth1 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dmadwifi -w

all I get is a bunch of a errors.

It would help if you would POST the errors, since we cannot guess which of the errors you're getting, and therefor cannot anticipate on them.

I wasn't at my computer at the time so I COULDN'T post them.

benny@benny-laptop:~$ sudo wpa_supplicant -ieth1 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dmadwifi -w

That's what I get when I try to follow the guide. Any suggestions?
