networking - Trouble with WPA wifi connection - can connect to wireless networks

Good afternoon,

I'm trying to set up wireless on a new install of Ubuntu Desktop 12.10.

I am able to connect to "open" wireless networks (I am connected to my house "guest" wifi network right now) - therefore the problem is not with the wireless card or firmware (I've done b43-fwcutter & firmware installs).

The issue is just when trying to connect to my WPA2 secure "normal" wifi network ("bkhouse"). It just won't seem to go... It appears that I can connect to the SSID, but it won't complete the connection.

Help would be appreciated!!

P.S. I've tried all kinds of different configurations with wpa_supplicant but haven't been able to sort anything out!
