I have recently purchased a USB WiFi adapter with a Realtek chipset for my netbook. Network-manager detects it well enough and can see my home WiFi network too, but when I try connecting I am just prompted endlessly for the WPA password, as if connection is somehow rejected or fails (I am using the right password).
A series of info about my network setup can be found here. The relevant network interface is wlan1
.

What might be the issue or how do I troubleshoot it?
Thanks.

Check to make sure that you have the right WPA version(WPA, WPA2) or Encryption protocol(TKIP,CCMP/AES).
