Just a hunch, check the name of the wireless interface in wicd.  I'll bet it is set to wlan0.  I'll bet your network is called something different.

Check in /etc/wicd/manager-settings.conf, and look at the output of ip link

You're right.It's wlan, not wlan0,  in the  /etc/wicd/manager-settings.conf. I correct it and now it works.thanks.

Excellent !  Do us a favor, please go ahead and edit your first post in the thread, edit the thread title, and add [SOLVED] to the beginning of the title.  We ask you do that, as the moderators do not know when you think your issues are solved.

Thanks
