Using 11.4 and network manager. VNT USB internal wireless on tablet. Driver that was found was vt6656. All networks are found, I can connect when there is no security but as soon as I change to WPA or even WEP I can no longer connect. Key is entered correctly, I have tried all security types, changing passwords, re-installing OS x2 but I can’t connect with security enabled. All other distros work (ubuntu, fedora, even windows 
) I have tried traditional ifup non network manager with same result. Can connect with windows and mac on same network using same key.
Is there any logs I can pass along that will help?
Thanks!

That driver is from the staging directory, which means that its quality is
unknown - the message in the logs is pretty clear. I have no idea if it supports
encryption. As this driver also includes its own wireless stack, any number of
things could be wrong.
You should look at the output in /var/log/NetworkManager to see what is failing
when using NM.
When using ifup, manually start wpa_supplicant in non-daemon mode with the -dddt
option to get maximum debugging. Note: The NM option is a lot easier.
Is there any other driver that I can use that would work with the VNT? which driver is being used by other distros to have this chip properly function? I’ll check the logs for NM when I get home and spit the output here…

That driver came from a vendor site, but the one there is likely not different.
