Cannot connect to wireless network

Hello,
I am trying to connect to my wifi network which is secured using WPA2. I have tried wpa_supplicant and netctl.

Relevant part of ip link

3: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN mode DEFAULT qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:0f:b5:07:47:e9 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

Relevant output of iwlist wlan0 scanning:

The fact that I can find the see the network with iwlist wlan0 scanning leads me to believe that the driver is working fine, but I could be wrong. I am using ndiswrapper with a Windows driver.

I appreciate any suggestions! Thanks.

Re: Cannot connect to wireless network

If you are using the 'Key=\"hexkeyhere' netctl parameter, it would seem taht you apparently think you should be using wep. If it is wep, you could just connect with iwconfig directly.  But from scanning through all that ouput and stuff, I am really not sure if you are using wpa or wep.  I think using "iw dev wlan0 scan" will provide more in depth info than iwlist.
