Comment 1 for bug 292475

Hi thanks for reporting your bug. I am unsure as to why you are unable to connect to the wireless network. Your scrambled password issue is a known bug see bug#239970 The correct passphrase is still getting sent to the wireless network. If you entered you password correctly originally this will not prevent you from connecting.

I was having trouble connecting to a wpa network when I switched to 8.10 and discovered it was because network manager misselected on of the settings (i needed PEAP instead of TLS or something similar. Try the other combinations or if you know how the network is set up make sure network-manager is selecting the appropriately.
