It connects after repeated attempts Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have a Dell Inspiron 1720, Ubuntu 11.10, the Broadcom STA driver installed. When starting ubuntu, the wireless doesn't connect and the message in the syslog is "4-Way Handshake failed - pre-shared key may be incorrect". I managed to make it work, sometimes by chance. Sometimes I stop the connection, kill wpa_supplicant and then try again and it works. If it works once, I can put the computer to sleep, move to another place and connect to a different network without a problem. See below a sample log.
