WPA connection problems

[redneck1980wi]

I bought a new wireless N router to replace my old G one and now I cannot connect when using WPA of any kind. WEP works fine, as does an open connection. The same laptop works with WPA through Vista so it isnt the router. I can see the WPA connection throught NetworkApplet but cannot connect. Any ideas?

It's usually a good idea to check the /var/log/syslog for error messages in order to narrow down the search.

If you're averse to the terminal then you can also see the log through System -> Admin -> System Log. Scroll down to the bottom to seee the latest message. This viewer will also update with more messages as you try to re-connect.

Feel free to post anything here that you don't understand.

It might also be a good idea to post a bit more information about your hardware type/brand and driver.
