Hi: I have a home wifi which has been working well for the past
three years or so. There is a Verizon router on the ESSID and the WEP
key is also written down clearly. This has been working well both with
Debian stable and unstable (aptosid) which I have on different disks. The
wireless card is Intel and requires iwl4965 which I have down loaded and
done modprobe -r iwlwifi etc so that it worked. Recently I came into some
problem with grub and I had to reconfigure the wireless interface. I have
come to the stage using wicd   to have the interface recognized but it does
not accept the password. I can make the text of the password visible so
that I know what I am inputting, and in any case, there are Windows
machines and Macs which use the same router which are working fine, So the
problem seems to do with my Linux ,machine;both stable and unstable
don't seem to recognize the password, though I can  verify that it is the
old one which worked for so long.Has anybody any clue as to what might
behappening. When I configure it , it clearly says bad password. In
fact it
keeps retrying and asks for the key every five minutes or so.I 'd be
grateful for any suggestions ad to how to debug this problem.
