Wicd puts out "Bad Password" after upgrading to 2.6.32.4

I've just upgrade to 2.6.32.4 and had to rollback to 2.6.32.3.  I can't seem to get a wireless connection in 2.6.31.4, wicd keeping giving me "Bad Password" errors and I cannot connect manually either.  Everything worked fine earlier.

Pointers to where I look to fix this? Thanks.

Re: Wicd puts out "Bad Password" after upgrading to 2.6.32.4

2.6.31.4 or 2.6.32.4? Does wicd-curses work?

Re: Wicd puts out "Bad Password" after upgrading to 2.6.32.4

The current wicd in the repos is buggy. I recommend installing wicd-bzr to fix your problems

Can you please specify it a bit more? Just to say it's buggy and that's all isn't really helpful!

It's really great that I push it to [testing] that people can file bug reports. And all I get was two or three positive feedbacks. Then I push it to extra and everyone is claiming that it's buggy!

Re: Wicd puts out "Bad Password" after upgrading to 2.6.32.4

Now including this there are three threads for wicd ( 1, 2 and this one).
- in my case wicd fails to connect to wireless network with wep passphrase. if fails to get IP address. wired net work connects normal.
  the same is the case with wicd-bzr. 

2010/01/23 10:29:02 :: dhcpcd: wlan0: broadcasting for a lease
2010/01/23 10:29:02 :: 
2010/01/23 10:29:32 :: dhcpcd: timed out
2010/01/23 10:29:32 ::

2010/01/23 10:29:37 :: Autoconnecting...
2010/01/23 10:29:37 :: Putting interface downAttempting to autoconnect with wired interface...

is the log.  Without wicd  I can connect to wireless without any issue. (ifconfig)

Re: Wicd puts out "Bad Password" after upgrading to 2.6.32.4

Hi ise, I've rolled back to wicd 1.6.2.2-3 (just a version I had laying around, I can't remember if this was the previous version. ) 1.7.0-1 would not connect to WEP or WPA access points that I use all the time wicd would time out and report that it failed to get an address. I could however connect to a WEP ap with iwconfig and dhclinet.

For my problem at the time, I was getting dbus error messages everytime i logged into X with wicd-client which prevented me from accessing the internet via dhcp. Installing the latest from wicd-bzr fixed that issue.

I also helped another wicd user on the #archlinux channel with another problem about a dependency issue with not accessing the wicd-curses, which pointing to wicd-bzr worked out.

Those are the only bugs I know.

Re: Wicd puts out "Bad Password" after upgrading to 2.6.32.4

Yeah, I spoke too soon. big_smile  Wicd is the problem, not kernel 2.6.32.4.  I looked at kgas's links and I've had the "Connection Failed: Unable to get IP address" for a while now. I thought it was the kernel problem (again), but I worked around it.  I'll put up both logs for wicd 1.6.2.2-3 and 1.7.0-1.

[EDIT] kernel numbers are suppose to be 2.6.32.3 and 2.6.32.4, typo on my part.
