Interesting, in the Network Manager the password is in lower case. In the pop up for the password I would typing upper (and lower). It took changing the password in the network manager to make things work.

Thanks.

From Terminal command

Card-l: Braodcpm Nextreme BCM5752 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express
Driver: tg3
IF: en9s0
state: down
mac: 00:15:c5:3e:d8:c3
Card -2: Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Netwrk Connection
driver: iwl3945
IF: wlpl2s0
State: down
mac: 00:13:02:b0:7b:70

I did try clearing out all network connections, but same error. I confirmed the password on other devices, so it is right.

You could also try deleting any existing entries in the Network Manager Settings, reboot, and try again.

Sure did. Total mystery here. So just to be clear, I shouldn't expect any other neccessary modifications or changes or anything. Should just be type it in and go, right?

Hi I have a Dell Lattitude D620 and just installed Linux Lite 3.0 When I put in my WiFi password it seems to connect out to the modem but says credentials are wrong. They aren’t wrong, so I am stumped. Seriously, I looked and looked and typed really slowly - the password is going in right. Any idea?
