I did not say that you had the wrong password, but that you had a password issue since the radio was apparently working fine. The very last step in the WiFi connection protocol is "Obtaining IP Address" from the router. For that step to be reach the radio must establish a connection on an agreed upon channel, then process the access password to enable data decryption, and once data can be decrypted the mobile requests an IP address to join the network. If the decryption key is not correct, the request for a IP address will not be decrypted by the router and the router will sit there patiently waiting for the final step from the mobile, which cannot happen because the data is not correctly decrypted. One easy way to check that is to TEMPORARILY turn off encryption so that data is not encrypted between the mobile and the router. If that works then you have significantly narrowed down the problem.

The fact that you cannot switch does point to a possible software defect in your Android WiFi system. The Europe code "thing" mainly adds two extra WiFi channels since the USA only has 11 channels and the rest of the world has 13. The 11 USA channels are also in the Europe channels so your Nook should be able to connect to your USA router.

I have set up CM10 internally on two Nook Tablets (no SD kludge), so I am sure that the CM10 version that I downloaded does not have the problem that you are having. I know that is not much consolation, but if you are using a "nightly" maybe try downloading a stable version?
