Bug Description
I've long thought my Ralink RT61 didn't work properly with WPA. Without security it worked fine. But yesterday I tried a different WPA key for a change (I use keys which I can reproduce in a language with many special charackters (á, û, etc.). And suddenly the thing connected. I've used that same type of key with a Windows laptop for ages, so I never suspected this. Can this be fixed? Or if not, can the key dialog warn if unsupported characters are used?

Hi there
I was unable to reproduce this bug, for testing i use "ñïmósàê" as wpa password, and works fine, using network manager in gutsy.
Are you trying to connect using network manager?, "the icon at the top panel".
Could you please specify which version of ubuntu are you using, the network-manager, wpasupplicant and related packages as well.
Thanks in advance
