Really starting to tear my hair out over this one..

I've got Kali Linux 1.0.9 installed successfully on a Samsung N210 netbook. lsusb returns my wireless card as being a Realtek RTL8192E/RTL8192SE. The driver in use is rtl819xE according to airmon-ng. Now here's the problem, I can scan for wireless networks just fine, but cannot connect to anything.

My home network is WPA2 secured and connecting through the native kali wireless tool just asks again and again for the network key and unless I manually remove the network entry it keep on popping up asking for the password repeatedly even if I don't exit the first one. Dmesg shows that I actually successfully associate but then is get two "RX: IEEE802.1X EAPOL frame!" then "dis associate packet!".

I also tried using WICD instead which also fails, but dmesg now has four entries of
"IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready".

I've got perfect network connection by running an Ethernet lead to the laptop and I've updated everything through apt-get. I cannot connect to open APs either, the exact same thing happens with both programs.

Any help is greatly appreciated...
