Re: NM with WUSB54GS + Ubuntu - Sees Networks, but won't connect

[Jacob <fun2program8 yahoo com>]

Here's the output attached. It seemed to loop the same error over and over  
and over and over... I let it go for about 5 minutes, and then stopped it  
(Ctrl+C), as you can see on the last couple of lines.

The network is not hidden, BTW. I coped the lines you mentioned to  
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf, which did not exist. I ran "/etc/init.d/dbus  
restart" and "/etc/init.d/networking restart" just to be sure  
configurations get reloaded. If there's any other information you need,  
let me know. I'm more then willing to provide it!

I want to thank you for the help. You are the only one who took notice!  
Thanks a million!
