When you want to join a WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK wireless network, your Mac will always refuse to do so. Here's how you can do it.
In System Preferences, click on the Network icon, then on Wi-fi in the list of networks. Click on the "Advanced..." button at the bottom-right of the window. On the Wi-Fi tab, click on the plus (+) button, then add the following:
- Network Name: Your Wi-Fi network's SSID Name
- Security: Any (Personal)
- Password: Your Wi-Fi password
Then click on OK. (You may need to enter your administrator's password to apply the changes.)
Now your Mac will automatically connect to your WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK network.
[kirkmc adds: I haven't tested this. What I understand here is that you cannot connect to this type of network via the standard dialog, and you must simply add it manually to your list of networks.]
