type the password on a notepad - copy and paste... you might be surprised.

Look at the output of dmesg and /var/log/syslog for information on what's going wrong. Post back with the details here if you need help.

Hi guys,
A wifi network won't accept the correct password I provide it with on NetworkManager (version 0.8.0.999).
This wireless network is reported to be "WPA Channel 11" by wicd (forgive my rather nooby description).
Windows users do not report any such difficulties. What's a debian user to do ?
