Can't connect to WPA2 network

I have just installed a linksys WPN600N pci card (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiD … %20WMP600N) but I can't connect to my home network which uses wireless n and WPA2-psk encryption.

netcfg outputs:

MyNetwork up [BUSY]
WPA Authentication/Association Failed [FAIL]

when using profile:

CONNECTION='wireless'
DESCRIPTION="Simple WPA connection"
INTERFACE='wlan0'
SECURITY='wpa'
ESSID='NotYourNetwork'
KEY=password #This is temporary for debugging
IP='dhcp'

I am using netcfg version 2.5.4-1

Here are some important lsmod outputs:

rt2860sta       733165  0
rt2800pci       8203    0
rt2800lib       19110   0 rt2800pci
rt2x00usb       6540    1 rt2800lib
rt2x00pci       4181    1 rt2800pci
rt2x00lib       22084   4 rt2800pci,rt2800lib,rt2x00usb,rt2x00pci
led_class #Can give more details if needed
mac80211
cfg80211
rfkill
eeprom_93cx6
usbcore

and part of the iwconfig output:

wlan0   IEEE 802.11abgn Frequency:5.22GHz

I haven't uploaded whole outputs because I'm not posting from that computer (obviously!).
Thanks for any help

Re: Can't connect to WPA2 network

First try to set it up with wpa_supplicant, if that does not work, try connecting without encryption altogether. If the former works, the problem is with your netcfg setup, if the former fails and the latter works, the problem is with your encryption setup.
