Wireless connects, then disconnects

[Palemoonrider]

Hello,
Was instructed to post new thread to help me with my wireless issue.
Dell Latitude 610. Just upgraded to 12.04 and cannot connect to wireless. Connects stays for about 10 secs then ask for key again.
Ran the requested script in terminal and got this:

bill@bill-Latitude-D610:~$ dmesg | greb ipw
No command 'greb' found, did you mean:
Command 'grep' from package 'grep' (main)
Command 'grub' from package 'grub' (main)
greb: command not found

[Palemoonrider]

Ok.
Now I figured out the between the brackets, Sorry

[wildmanne39]

Hi, please set power management to off permanently if you have not already like this:

gksudo gedit /etc/pm/power.d/wireless

(this will create or edit a configuration file that will override the default powermanagement behavior) and enter the following:
#!/bin/sh

/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 power off

above exit0, then save gedit, close and reboot.
Does it connect now? if not post the output of:

nm-tool

Thanks

[Palemoonrider]

Not sure I am doing this correctly.
Followed the instructions and created the file. saved it then ran the code. reboot. Still same result.

Hi, you are having trouble with encryption, please go into router settings and change encryption to wpa2 only if that option is available, then in network manager set the security to wpa/wpa2.
Reboot
Thanks

[Palemoonrider]

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Fixed my issue. I appreciate all the help and the timely replies.
Now to go have some fun.

Would like to play with the display, so will go to that forum and read.

Thanks again, Palemoonrider

PS: Can't find how to mark solved.
