Configure wifi access / Free.Fr / WPA (TKIP/AES)

[Mathieu Malaterre <mathieu.malaterre@gmail.com>]

Hi there,

  I am trying a very simple task: connect to my wifi using a my debian box.
  Setup: My wifi box is made by Free.Fr (French ADSL provider). I did
setup the SSID to be foobar, no broadcast, and security "WPA
(TKIP+AES)". I hit generate and it gives me a password. I can connect
using WinXP no problem.

  Now if I try to connect with my debian box, I click on the
network-manager and select 'Connect to Hidden Network', set security
to 'WPA/WPA2 Personal' and copy paste the password as I would do on
winxp. It does not connect at all.
  I tried then:
http://wiki.debian.org/Manual-Howto#AuthenticatewithwpausingPSKTKIP.
It still does not work and I get (*). What am I doing wrong ? What are
the tool to understand what is going on wrong ? Should I select
another type of security ?
