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

Sorry to be annoying, but can anyone please help me with this?

I'm not sure if I posted this in the right place here, so if I didn't could you point me in the right direction?

I found I had to use my HEX key instead of my passphrase in Mint, don't know if that helps.
