Problems connecting with wpa_supplicant

[Jo]

Thanks for the quick answer.

I don't think the AP is the problem because if I load the live with the
same AP configuration it works

The firmware loaded is the same in both cases as showed by the dmesg |
grep firmware.

lspci shows that I've got a Realtek RTL8191SEvB, which I guess is the
kernel module
	Realtek RTL8192SE/RTL8191SE PCIe Wireless Network Adapter

I tried loading all the family realtek as modules but it didn't fix it.

But if wpa_supplicant does perform some activities with the card such as
scanning, doesn't that mean that the correct kernel modules of the card
are active?

Thanks
