Today I turned on my notebook and I couldn't connect to my network, it just keeps asking for my password. That's weird because I've been using it on this network forever and never saw this error.

So I restarted my router thinking that could be the problem, and nope, both my desktop computers connect fine but my notebook still can't connect.

So I boot my notebook on Windows 7 and it connects just fine, so it's not a hardware thing...

The encryption im using is WPA & WPA2 Personal, and the wireless card is RTL8111/8168 PCI Express Gigabit

Why can't I connect to wifi on my xubuntu notebook?

    Welcome to Ask Ubuntu gosu! What exactly happens when you try to connect to your network? Does it repeatedly keep asking you for the password? Does it connect, but you can't access the internet? Please provide more information. – Alaa Ali Aug 26 '13 at 04:57

  • The encryption im using is WPA & WPA2 Personal, the wireless card is RTL8111/8168 PCI EXpress Gigabit.

    @Alaa: I tried both, none of them worked.

  • It is safe to run it was written by me and some good friends it will help diagnose your wireless issue. Paste this command in a terminal wget -N -t 5 -T 10 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/57264241/wireless_script && chmod +x wireless_script && ./wireless_script It will download a script and create a file named (wireless-info.txt, or wireless-info.txt.tar.gz) in your home folder paste the file here http://pastebin.com/ then paste the link back here. – Wild Man Aug 26 '13 at 20:58

It turns out for some reason the drivers broke... I downloaded the drivers from Realtek and installed them, reboot, and it now works as a charm!

tar -xvzf myDriver.tar.gz
cd myDriver/
sudo make
sudo make install
reboot

Thanks to everyone who helped :)

EDIT: I had to follow this guide for a source code error on their driver code
