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....

Thanks

When you decide to try that again, do please "dmesg | tail" to see the logs. Will be more clear.

open "xterm" and type in it "dmesg | tail"

You will get log of everything what happened recently. Hope there will something in it about problem you have.

Thanks.

Please, do again but bigger output: "dmesg | tail -n 200".

Do not paste here (too large), use please copy output to http://pastebin.com/. Paste here only the URL from pastebin.

Thanks.

I want to thank you for all the help you gave

Thank you for giving up your precious time
