Do #18
Are xml files recreated after boot (after you connect wireless)

interfaces created a folder again with an xml file in it.

So that folder gets written without issues. Password still not remembered?

Goto network centre. Manage wireless networks. right click the wirelessnetwork with problems->properties.->Tab security. Make the password visible. post screenshot

in elevated command prompt

Code:

 
netsh  wlan  show  profiles

What is the name of faulty profile? Assume the name is MyHomeProf

Code:

netsh wlan show profiles name="MyHomeProf" key=clear

What do you see on the last line the secret password? It's not the password you entered?

Code:

 
netsh wlan set profileparameter name="MyHomeProf" keymaterial="YourPassword"

screenshot. still have to read your other posts. this password here is not my wireless password. not sure what its for?

I see 2 profiles. one upper case, and the same name lower case. why 2? using your commands, ONE profile has the right wireless password, the other one don't.

this system had xp on it and I upgraded to windows 7. not sure if that matters or not.
