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?

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
