[Diego Costantini]

I tried with KNetworkManager, and before with NetworkManager in Gnome, and
also following the lot of procedures online to make it work in case of weird
malfunctions, but still I couldn't make it work.
I just see that it is trying to connect, but seems that switches
continuously between 0% and 100% signal (the router is very close) like if
it couldn't negotiate the password.
I am sure it is correct, I also deleted it from keyring and inserted again,
and also from control panel.
Without agreeing on the password obviously the router can't assign me the
correct IP by DHCP, so I also tried to force it statically, but didn't help
either.
