Wifi Adapater finds my network but does not connect

[rokytnji]

Thought I recognized the usb wireless adapter. It should just be plug and play?

That computer fell of the table and now is cannibalized for parts since I posted that. I am pretty sure I posted using that same usb wifi piece of gear on this forum also. But cannot find it.

The system "loops" asking for the password over and over again and does not connect,

I uninstalled network-manager myself and went with wicd-gtk instead. But I am probably the only member who does this on Linux-Lite.

Something is wrong with your network-manager setup and install. So my 1st question is.

Did you md5sum check the downloaded linux-lite iso before installing it? The md5sum number is at the download site for a reason. And should be used to eliminate ghost in the machine problems like you describe. Because that usb dongle should just connect and go.

Hi,

Grretings from Rio.

I´m very new to Linux (just installed it). I´m having trouble using WiFi.

I do detect my network (the SSID appears between the available connections), i even enter my password, but that´s it. The system "loops" asking for the password over and over again and does not connect, unless I use the cable.

I´m using Windows 7 right now, because i´m also having trouble with my keyboard when using Linux Lite (but i will leave it to another topic)

My wi fi adapter is Realtek RTL8187B

The notebook is  CCE Win Series ( dont even know if these are sold abroad)

You probably need more than that to help me, right?

Well, I tried. Sorry for the bad English and thanks in advance.
