Dear all, I have an atheros 9825 wireless card (on a compaq CQ60-615DX) which is detected, but somehow fails to connect to -- or rather immediately disconnects immediately from -- the network when the password is given. I am running it using linux 5.5 livedvd, but the same device connects successfully under Windows7.
It seems this issue was discussed sometime before, but I do not seem to find it. Any help appreciated. Below are details from wpa_supplicant.log and dmesg that I guess are helpful.
