Yes, and also tell us where you are posting the password (which application are you using to configure your wlan access) I am using both with knetworkmanager and without. without the manager I should configure wpa_supplicant and both ways work fine. Sometimes the kill switch is turned off so turn on and check with iwconfig (/sbin/iwconfig 2>&1| grep -i tx-power) regards -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
