Hey everyone, I'm new here, and new to Linux as well.
That being said, I'm having a little trouble with my wireless networking in Linux Mint.
I installed the drivers for my Zonet ZEW1602 wireless card and it is running (I can see wireless networks so I'm assuming I did everything right)
The problem is, I can't actually get it to connect to my wireless network.
It keeps asking me for my passphrase required by the network, then attempts to connect and asks for it again.
I had it connected at one point last night (had the bars at the bottom indicating signal strength) but I could not access any websites or ping.
Can someone please explain to me how to get this working? The Mint wiki didn't help fix it =/
In case you need to know the router I'm using, it is a Buffalo Airstation WHR-HP-AG108
Sorry for the semi-long post and thanks for taking the time to read it
EDIT: I just found out that I can connect to my neighbor's wireless connection, it isn't encrypted
