Paul YOU ARE A GENIUS
I deleted my network from the preferred ones and re-entered the key and I am
now connected with WiFi. I am so happy.
Now I must look after this nagging message about the ghost mafunctioning
device. The constant ding-dong of connecting-disconnecting USB device was
driving me crazy, I had to stop the sound. I think that it could be
connected to a MS Activesync problem because each time I start my computer
Activesync asks me to reconnect my PPC.
