I installed Ubuntu 11.10 on HP 530 and to make Wireless work installed STA driver from jockey
(obviously proprietary) and, since it didn't work also installed their driver from HP website via ndiswrapper
.
After this (and a reboot) I see the WiFi indicator glowing, like it should be, and I am able to find local access points. But when I try to connect to mine personal one with WPA 2 security (with password) it hangs at authentification (I'm using wicd
to manage wifi), and after a minute or so (I guess timeout of request happens) it says I have a wrong password (it is 100% correct). What might be the problem here?
Yesterday I was able to connect to access point by changing type of encryption from passphrase
to preshared key
but didn't have internet access. Now, after reboot, I can't connect there again.
