[SOLVED] Wicd "No wireless networks found."

I did a fresh install of arch, and Wicd's GUI says "No wireless networks found."

I did install the firmware I needed. b43-firmware.

Please help. Thank you.

What happens when you try manually?

Re: [SOLVED] Wicd "No wireless networks found."

How do you try manually?

Edit: wifi-menu does scan networks, and gives me a list of access points.

Edit2: Wicd properly connects to my wired network, but nothing for wireless.

Edit3: After some digging I found that if you install Wicd before getting your wifi working correctly (aka installing b43-firmware) then the "Wireless interface" box in Wicd GUI's preferences will be blank. Adding wlan0 made it work.
