[SOLVED] HP G62 - Freezes (Hardlock) Ralink 5390 Wifi setting up.

Hi

I got a HP G62 with a Ralink 5390 wifi card.
I downloaded and compiled the kernel and with the patches that come from opensuse.

I used this thread
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=112170
and blacklisted rt2800pci and added rt5390sta in modules.

Rebooting computer ads a wlan0 as ralink device with all the info
iwconfig ads wlan0 and ifconfig finds wlan0 with what seems proper info
Starting wicd it finds networks and when trying to connect it freezes up after "setting up interfaces"

Everything is up to date. And have no idea how to solve the hardlock issues.

EDIT
IT seems that it works for wep unsecured but not on wpa2 secured hmm

Solved by removing wicd and installing NetworkManager.
