WPA Authentication times out on every network

I'm trying to get my laptop connected to WPA2 networks, but for some reason it is failing miserably. Every time I try to connect to WPA2 Personal (both at home and at work) it gets constant authentication time outs in the logs:

And it just fails. This happens whenever I try via netcfg (wifi-menu) or wicd. I've killed all wpa_supplicant processes, and there are no changes. My network card *sees* the networks just fine, but cannot authenticate with them for some reason.

The thing that kills me is that, in the install medium, I can use wifi-menu to connect to these same networks without any issues at all.

Any insight into this?

Network card:  04:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6235 (rev 24)

Thanks!

Re: WPA Authentication times out on every network

I'm having a similar problem with Wicd; i can connect, and then it just doesn't connect - if that makes sense.
