Bug Description

I connect my WiFi antenna to the USB port.
I select my WiFi network, put the password correctly (capitalized) and click on Connect.
It tries to connect, a lot of time, but it does not connect, and then show again the password dialog.
I tried disabling WiFi password on my router, but the problem persists.

I tried with my Android's phone WiFi network (Using WiFi Tethering) but it does the same.

The antenna shows the light and it searches correctly all the networks, but it does not connect to them.

I think it's a Kernel Bug, but anyway I'll use ubuntu-meta because I can't try on another distro or kernel.
This is not a new issue, I always had this bug, I bought another antenna (same as the one I have).
