wicd not able to connect to WEP access point

After not updating for a month or so (had to replace power cable) I finally updated my system and upon restarting I wasn't able to connect to my home's wifi. I have it set to automatically connect and it didn't, so it probably isn't a settings thing. I can only get on if I have it set to unsecured.

What could be wrong? How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance!

Guys... use the search function. It's there for a reason.

Also, stop using WEP, for eff's sake.

I have, I couldn't find anything useful.
I have to use WEP because my DS doesn't support WPA. I have a MAC address whitelist, so it isn't that insecure.

In that case, you might as well save yourself the hassle and use no encryption (which would it this particular case actually fix things, as the driver bug affects only WEP).

Thanks for the link, I'll look into it.
That's how I have it right now, but I'd still want it to be fixed, so I can connect to the Internet at my girlfriend's and my friends' houses.
