All authentication settings correct. I bought an external USB wifi
dongle (Belkin N) and it connected fine with the same settings. Still no
joy from internal card even through several reboots. Then arrived at
work today, resumed from suspend, and all of a sudden it's working again!
No idea what's going on, but maybe there's an intermittent connection on
the wifi card and moving the laptop around had got it going again.
