Anyway, this does not seem to be a problem of bad password. I was finally able to get connected to the AP as soon as I carry the nebook and put it next to the AP which is the problem I've always have had with this driver (brcmsmac). As soon as I back to another room, N-M asks me again for the pass-key and disconnects. Greetings, -- Camaleón
