Is the device firmware getting loaded?
Thanks Terry. At the moment I'm not sure. This device used to work so I
am assuming the firmware is being loaded, but at the moment I'm not sure
if the firmware extensions package has been uninstalled for some reason
as part of standard system upgrades.
regards,
Steve

I am using kde at the moment and I have cut and pasted

Therefor the password isn't the issue. And, as it works
under Windows,
it's not hardware.
First try "ethtool -i <name-of-device>" to see what driver is
loaded
(if any). If you get data back then try "iwlist wlan0 scan"
(replace
"wlan0" with your device) to see what access points are in the
area.
If all that works, then the wireless itself is working under
Linux and
there's something odd about the way NetworkManager (NM) and
your device
talk to each other. At that point you could try to disable NM
and use
the wpa_supplicant programs directly to try to get it up (such as
running wpa_supplicant in the background and using something like
wpa_supplicant_gui to manipulate it). If you're successful
there, then
try to get NM to talk nice or bugzilla it to the NM list.
Sorry Rick, how do I determine what the device name is? The only
information I have been able to determine is that lsusb shows me
that the usb device is there, and iwconfig says that there are no
devices with wireless extensions, but I don't see a device in that
list that I am expecting (I don't remember exactly what the device
name was when it was being used but I think is started with 'wp').
The only difference between the last time I used the wifi device
(which was probably 6 months ago, I've been using an ethernet
'Home Plug' device) and now is that I have put on multiple system
upgrades for F24, plus at the moment I don't know whether the
issue is NetworkManager, Kernels or something else.

Steve
