Wireless can detect all networks but don't connect

[bogdan]

Hello people!

I have installed Linux Lite 3.0 and I have a problem with the wireless. It can detect all the networks (even a hotspot on the smart phone), but after I give the password, does not do nothing. Have anyone an idea how to solve this? I have to mention that I've moved form Linux Mint 18, to Linux Lite 3.0 because of the fact that the driver for my nVidia recommended (the same for both distributions) it is not giving me the headaches like in LM-18. However my wireless worked flawless in LM-18.

The information about the system I have is:

Hi,

Welcome to LL Forum.

First simple thing to check...
Click on Menu, then type Driver and select Driver from menu list


Does it find any additional driver(s)..??


A quick Google for "Ubuntu 16.04 3945ABG [Golan] unable to connect" show lots of hits with some shown solved.

Thank you very much Wirezfree and Jerry!

The solution that I've found is at this link, after I followed the Wirezfree's advice:

After I have followed the steps provided, even the firmware was right, I've decided to reinstall the firmware and rebooted the system. Then I've created in Network Connections a Wifi with the credentials and when I clicked the wireless it connected.

I am new to Linux Lite and I am appreciating its simplicity and straightforwardness. I haven't seen a linux community that is so prompt and with expertise like Linux Mint, until now. 

Thank you again for your time and effort!

Glad it's sorted...
Yes, I personally believe the best Linux Community...
But I'm biased
