The modules look good, so the issue is probably elsewhere. Let's look from the other side: the GUI. What desktop are you running and does it have a NetworkManager applet in the systray, like so:

(screenshot from another post, but we spent a few days before finally discovering, that the user removed the NetworkManager applet :P )
There's no such thing as "impossible". :)

This is the 64bit sparkylinux "gameover" distro. Downloaded and installed about the 7th April.
Wifi was fine in the live test, and after system install to HDD, but continuously requests the password after the system update.

The networkmanager applet is in the system tray at the bottom right of the screen.
When opened it displays the detected wifi signals as well as the wired network.
If the wired network is disabled in the applet the wifi is still the same.
If the ethernet cable is disconnected before or after boot it makes no difference to the wifi operation.
If the ethernet is connected after boot it works fine.

????????

That means it's not a module, but a NetworkManager problem. Perhaps somethings missing here. You can try shutting down the nm-applet (the systray icon should have an exit option) and launching it from the terminal to see what messages are being output. You can also check your home directory for a xsession-errors log file or the /var/log/X(something).log files to see if there are any messages related to networking, encryption or similar.

Apologies for the delay. Just spent some time in hospital. I'm going to abandon this thread.
I've also been working on the rc4 xfce distro and it works really well on this platform.
Sorry to have wasted your time.

No problem. Hope the hospital visit wasn't about anything serious. :)

PS. I'm using the xfce edition myself. Works nicely. :D
