What type of wifi card? 'lspci' should show you the details of the 
manufacturer/chipset.

iwconfig doesn't really do anything with WPA, for that you need WPA 
supplicant, it's not a lot of fun to do the first time but that's why there's 
kwifimanager, which configures and runs wpa_supplicant for you.

I'm not sure why kwifimanager didn't work, but that would be the route you'd 
want to take. It may be the key you're using, I had problems once with I 
think AES with WPA2, going back to WPA1 worked fine. Although that's not the 
cure you really want it might be the one that gets you up and running with 
the least fuss for now, and it will also verify that WPA1 works and WPA2 is 
the problem.
