Ok. Here's the basics. ----older laptop, dell 600 . Intel 2200 GB wireless card I believe. Sees my router, won't take the WPA key. I've done quite a bit of forum browsing and I noticed my channel is set to 0. I have 1-11 available but can't seem to change it. Any ideas would be helpful. Thank you.

sudo iwlist eth1 auth

eth1 Authentication capabilities : WPA WPA2 CIPHER-TKIP CIPHER-CCMP Current TKIP countermeasures : yes Current Drop unencrypted : yes Current Authentication algorithm : Current Receive unencrypted EAPOL : no Current Roaming control : yes Current Privacy invoked : yes

also ran
sudo iwconfig lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

As someone already said, your question isn't clear. But my two cents would be this: try using nmcli from command line to connect or use wicd tool.

More here on nmcli: How to connect to WiFi from Lubuntu?

More here on wicd: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1998946

Let me know if that helped

  • Thanks but I know about connecting through command line. I just can't connect to my wifi. I just put my new phone on my wifi so I know the pw for it is correct. Just my laptop keeps saying wrong pw.

  • Also, it's just a thought , but does your password have some special characters? Try changing your password through the phone (access the router through 192.168.0.1) and try reconnecting with the new password. Just a suggestion
