[SOLVED] Ubuntu 12.04 WPA2 Detects Wireless Network But Fails to Connect to It

My Ubuntu 12.04 computer works in WEP security mode but not in WPA2. WPA2 detects the wireless network but fails to connect to it. My nephew's Asus laptop works in WPA2 under Windows 7 but exhibits the same symptoms when switched to Ubuntu 12.04 WPA2.

I seem to have read some online reports that this is a known Ubuntu 12.04 bug.

I would appreciate any help in fixing this problem or in confirming that this is a system software bug.

Frank,

Thanks very much for your response at this site and at www.twuug.org.

I am delighted to report that I can now connect to the Internet after deleting the following file. Luckily I spotted this solution tonight at www.ubuntuforums.org, to which I am very grateful.
