Wireless help please

[knubles]

Can someone point me in right direction.
I have Dell Inspiron 1545.
It works fine on wired but fails on wireless.
I am using wicd as an interface. It always comes up with the following error: Connection Failed: Bad password.
I have checked the passwords in both wicd and the router. They seem to be the same.
Am I missing something ?
Cheers

Double check that there is no space in the password. Sometimes a space happens to be in the beginning or at the end so that you can't see it.

Could you paste what shows you the command sudo iwconfig and the command lspci ?

Sort of.
I deleted wicd followed by all the references to networkmanager.
I then reinstalled wicd.
It now works.
Thanks to all.

I was led astray by the following
wicd-wired-and-wireless-network-manager-for-ubuntu.html:
Please note that this will remove network-manager, which is the default GNOME network manager and may cause loss of network connection temporarily.
It does not

The next quote gave me clue.
wicd.html:
Warning: Running multiple network managers will cause problems, so it is important to disable all other network management daemons.
First, stop all previously running network daemons:
