[solved] wicd do not work with wep or wpa/2...

Hi!

I have configured wicd using the wiki, and checked the steps several times... but only works when the wifi router is set to no encryption...
If I use wep or wpa wpa2 it just keeps handshaking and never connects...

any idea?

Could you please post your wpa_supplicant config, and the wireless card you're using.

here is the wpa_suplicant.conf
http://pastebin.ca/1245279
it is the regular one I think... I need to change something?
(my friends are using it without changes...)

and this is my card: Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02)

What driver are you selecting in the wicd gui, I think (my laptop was recently stolen so I can't look), I had to use the wext driver for my intel ipw2100 card. And you're right, you shouldn't have to make any wpa_supplicant changes.

Hi,

I have the same wireless card as you and I use wext as the driver in wicd. It works fine.
