I've actually checked that. It's properly set and always was. The 
problem must be elsewhere. Astonishingly I have the same problem when I 
start from the live CD, and on the other hand I didn't have this problem 
when connecting to the wireless at my brothers, nor on Starbucks today. 
That's why my guess is that it must be somewhere between my computer and 
the wireless modem. I just didn't had time to play around with the modem 
configuration. That's the next step in my plan. I just need to get some 
sleep from time to time ;-)
