Have you gotten anywhere with this?  What did you change between when it worked and when it stopped 
(your credentials, perhaps)?

The symptom at that link is that Network Manager says wireless is disabled.  Is that what you have? 
  You didn't say what software is prompting for your credentials.

Does 'iwlist scan' show your access point?  Does 'rfkill list all' have any yes lines?

To find the problem you need to take apart the association process and see which pieces work and 
which don't.  That might mean learning how association works and how to evaluate each piece.
