Greetings,
I installed Jessie (Gnome, amd64) on a "why!" laptop (W650SZ-i7). It
exhibits an Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 Wifi card. Thus, I installed
the iwlwifi-2030.6.ucode firmware in /lib/firmware (and the Realtek
firmware). Wifi connections can be established without WPA, but when WPA
is required, it tries to connect repetitively without success. On a
Lenovo T410s with an "Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 3x3 AGN" Wifi card,
Jessie with WPA works fine (with the iwlwifi firmware).
Thank you! Best regards,
