Wicd doesn't show all networks

Hi!

I've just switched to a x86_64 archlinux (i had an i686 before) and I've some problems with wireless networking...

My wireless card is an Intel4965.

I've installed the drivers and wicd.

Wicd shows some networks but not all of them, and especially not mine (the network is OK, i can connect with Windows...)

The network uses WPA encryption, and i was able to use it with my former i686 install

Do you have any ideas about how to solve this problem?

thanks

Re: Wicd doesn't show all networks

What channel uses your network? Intel driver needs to set country with CRDA to enable channels 12 and 13, which are forbidden in US.

Re: Wicd doesn't show all networks

The network is on channel 7 I think (I'm sure it is not on 12 or 13)
On my i686 install it worked wthout tweaking anything (just install the dirver and wicd)
