Cannot connect to router wirelessly after upgrading to wheezy

[Guest vialaspada]

After upgrading to wheezy, I am no longer able to connect either of my two wireless routers using the D-Link DWA-131 802.11n Wireless N Nano Adapter(rev.A1). One router is visible and one is not. To keep things simple, I'd like to start out trying to connect to the visible router.

 

Code:

# uname -a

Linux debian 3.2.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.2.57-3+deb7u1 i686 GNUL/Linux

 

# lsusb

...

... D-Link System DWA-131 802.11n Wireless N Nano Adapter(rev.A1) [Realtek RTL8192SU]

...

 

# lsmod

...

r8712u...

...

 

# cat /etc/network/interfaces

...

auto wlan0

iface wlan0 inet static

pre-up wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

wireless-essid MY_ESSID

netmask 255.255.255.0

dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 24.205.192.61 192.168.254.254

post-down killall -q wpa_supplicant

 

# cat wpa_supplicant.conf

network={

ssid="MY_ESSID"

psk=LONG_HEX_STRING

key_mgmt=WPA_PSK

}

The contents of dmesg and kern.log are mostly

Code:

...wlan0: direct probe to... timed out

Please let me know if I need to provide any more information.

 

Also, I just realized that this thread belongs in the wireless internet forum. Is there a way to move the thread?
