Xubuntu 9.10 Realtek 8185 Wirless PCI card Not working
Hello, I am 16 years old and have decided to become anti windows: here is my question: I have a netgear router and A realtek 8185 wireless PCI card, this card works fine on windows, when I installed linux it recognized the Realtek 8185 card, but when I try to connect to my wireless internet with WPA the Network Manager keeps asking for my WPA password, I enter the Password... wait about 1 min... then it prompts for the WPA password.... how can I fix this....
