[Bug 1375509] [NEW] endless wireless network key authentication loop

 

Public bug reported:

Is there a fix regarding the bug with Ubuntu 14.04 where the wireless
connection continuously asks for the network password, but no matter how
many times you press connect, it never connects? The password is in
there. I have to go to network settings and turn the wi-fi on and off
and it eventually connects, but I should have to do this. I've read
through hundreds of posts and haven't seen anything.


%: lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
Release:	14.04

I expected to auto-connect to internet after setting up my network, but
instead every time I power down and restart, or restart, or wake the
computer from sleeping the wifi connection is lost and can't connect
without me turning it on and off over and over again.

%:lsusb
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 050d:945a Belkin Components F7D1101 v1 Basic Wireless Adapter [Realtek RTL8188SU]


I'm connected with it right now, but I don't think I should have to
fiddle with it so much to get it to connect. Any solutions to this?

Thanks,
Greg
