hi. I have a similar problem
with wifi on OPI Lite. the device sees the SSID, but cannot connect to the router. by trial and error found that by substituting in the settings of Wicd WPA suplicant driwer = none working network connection wpa-psk only encryption method WPA. network connection with WPA2 encryption, or no encryption ends with the message "bad password". is [Armbian_5.14_Orangepilite_Debian_jessie_3.4.112_desktop] , string [wpa_driver = none] the config Wicd is already there.
with android image i can connect to same router (wpa2-psk) with no problem.
