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)
