    My Sony S Intel 6200 AGN wireless adapter will not connect to my WPA2 AES network but it will connect to it when I change it to WEP or no password. However, my other laptops can connect to WPA2 AES completely fine. Any ideas what's causing the problems? I am using the latest drivers possible.

    Is it possible that my wireless card is dying? I tried reformatting and several different drivers but none of them would work with wpa or wpa.

    The same thing happened to me. I updated to the latest driver of my Intel N 6200 AGN card and my wifi at home stopped working. I could still connect to other non password protected networks, and my other computers could connect just fine.

    I found that the problem was with the latest driver. I did a driver rollback and it started working just fine. I'm currently using 13.2.0.30 (March 2010 I think).

    BTW, I have an Envy 14, not a Vaio. But I don't think it matters since the problem is with the driver itself.

    Odd. I have a 6200 with 13.3.0.24 drivers and I can connect to a WPA2-AES router (D-Link DIR-655 just fine).

    When you say it doesn't connect, what precisely happens? It rejects the password? It hangs up and just doesn't detect at all?
