[SOLVED] wicd fails to automatically connect to a network

pingpong · 2012-11-03 02:16:59

I have just upgrade to kernel 3.6.5-1 and after that wicd fails to autoconnect to my wireless network which I have set "Automatically connect to this network" from wicd-curse.

Is anyone experiencing the same issue? Any idea on what causing the issue?

Do you think some more information might help?

Start with telling us your chipset. Check with lspci -nn (That would be two n's, not m)
Also, is it your router? Is it encrypted? WPA? WEP?
Can you see it with iwlist scan
Can you associate with the access point by hand?
Is there anything interesting in the journal (or logs)?
What DE are you using?
Is the WAN blocked? (Check with rfkill list)

Thank you for the tips. I actually thought about that as well. However, since the whole thing was working till the mintue that I reboot (after upgrading the kernel). I decide not to overwhelm my post with all those info. Anyway here is the info:

My router is WPA2, and I can connect to the internet just that wicd won't autoconnect to my home network (which it did and suppose to). I use xmonad, WAN is not blocked.

which log files should I posted /var/errors.log, /var/log/wicd/wicd.log?

Thanks in advance

Ah.. for some recent I had dhcpcd@eth0.service enabled.. that was the culprit.
Things work again after I issued
# systemctl disable dhcpcd@eth0.service

sorry for the confusion
