Dear NetworkManager folks, using Debian Wheezy with the packages network-manager 0.9.0-10 and wpasupplicant 1.0-3+b1 and a Realtek RTL8188CUS based USB WLAN device, $ uname -a Linux myhostname 3.2.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.2.41-2 i686 GNU/Linux $ lsusb […] Bus 001 Device 005: ID 7392:7811 Edimax Technology Co., Ltd EW-7811Un 802.11n Wireless Adapter [Realtek RTL8188CUS] no connection can be established to the wireless network and I am just asked for the password again and again.
