Great thanks a lot, I didn't restart the system but starting the service I get a "nl80211 not found" error. Did you also get the password error or just losing the connection? By the way I would really like to understand why eth0 and eth1 are often switched. One boot I even saw finally wlan0 as wireless interface device name, is there a way to fix them forever?
