wicd suddenly stopped working. weird problem.

Hi there,

I had a very happy first wireless experience with wicd for about 30 minutes. I even rebooted my laptop a couple of times and wicd still worked fine.

Then, following the Arch wicd wiki I disabled eth0 in rc.conf:

INTERFACES=(!eth0)

and rebooted. After that, wicd stopped seeing the wireless network. 'No wireless networks found' was the only message I got.

I then re-enabled the interface in rc.conf

INTERFACES=(eth0)

and rebooted, but that did not work. wicd still refuses to see the wireless network.

I don't know what else to do. Re-installing wicd does not help either.

Is there a way I can 'reset' wicd configuration by removing some file somewhere on the HD? wicd was working fine before disabling and re-enabling eth0.

Thanks for any help,

-Benton

Re: wicd suddenly stopped working. weird problem.

this is very strange indeed. I have fixed other wicd problems by uninstalling wicd and deleting everything in /usr/lib/wicd and then reinstalling wicd. It might work for you.
