problems with wpa2 + wicd + intel3945 wifi card : wrong password
Hi!
I was using this setup months ago, then I had to travel so not used that laptop... When I came back I updated my arch laptop and then I realized that can not connect through wicd to the dlink router...
wicd keeps saying "wrong password"...
I tried using netcfg wpa and it works, it connects ok
Here the wpa file contents
cat /etc/network.d/wpa
CONNECTION='wireless'
INTERFACE='wlan0'
#SCAN='yes'
SECURITY='wpa'
ESSID='myessid'
KEY='thecurrentpassord'
IP='static'
ADDR='192.168.0.100'
GATEWAY='192.168.0.1'
DNS1=('8.8.8.8')
DNS2=('8.8.4.4')
#TIMEOUT=20
here the lsmod output
$ lsmod

Re: problems with wpa2 + wicd + intel3945 wifi card : wrong password
Have you tried removing and recreating the profile? Given that it works in netcfg, that seems a likely course to pursue.

Re: problems with wpa2 + wicd + intel3945 wifi card : wrong password
Don't netcfg and wicd use different configs? netcfg PROFILES are in /etc/network.d/ while wicd configs are in /etc/wicd/... And wpa_supplicant (your main wpa-config file) is at /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf ...
So what you posted in your original post
Here the wpa file contents
cat /etc/network.d/wpaCONNECTION='wireless' INTERFACE='wlan0' #SCAN='yes' SECURITY='wpa' ESSID='myessid' KEY='thecurrentpassord' IP='static' ADDR='192.168.0.100' GATEWAY='192.168.0.1' DNS1=('8.8.8.8') DNS2=('8.8.4.4') #TIMEOUT=20
is NOT your wpa config but only a netcfg profile called "wpa" ....
So just compare the contents of /etc/network.d/wpa with your wicd config file, and the problem should be solved :-)
