Is that network really being detected as WPA when you get the prompt for a password?
I'm guessing it doesn't really specify what type of password it's looking for, so it would be helpful if you could edit the connections, select the one you're trying to activate and make sure it's properly set to WPA (personal) and that you can enter the password in the accompanying field. At first glance what appears to happen is that you're being asked for a WEP password instead, which will work for 5 characters, 13 (IIRC), and then some other value. WPA passwords will usually have a minimum of 8 characters. To get additional data, it might also help if you enable debugging on wpasupplicant; then reproduce the issue. You can do this in the following way: 1) Run the two following commands: sudo dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1 /fi/w1/wpa_supplicant1 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Set string:fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1 string:DebugTimestamp variant:boolean:true sudo dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1 /fi/w1/wpa_supplicant1 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Set string:fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1 string:DebugLevel variant:string:"msgdump" 2) Reproduce the issue by trying to activate the connection Then attach /var/log/syslog to this bug report.
