[SOLVED] - Unable to Get IP

I am not able to connect to my wlan network using wicd. I get the following error.

Connection Failed: Unable to Get IP Address

While trying manually through the terminal I could associate to an access point but dhcpcd gives a timout error while trying to get  the ip.

Re: [SOLVED] - Unable to Get IP

I am still trying to figure this out as well.  I have googled all day trying to figure it out.  So far the only thing I can do is reboot and it will connect.

Re: [SOLVED] - Unable to Get IP

I have regular probs with this too, somtimes this is the only thing that works -

ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig wlan0 down
iwconfig wlan0 essid #### key ###
ifconfig wlan0 up


then either dhcpcd wlan0 or use wicd to get an IP.  A pain in the arris and no mistake, but it always works.

Re: [SOLVED] - Unable to Get IP

Are you using dhcpcd to get the ip address?
Try with dhclient instead.

I also have far fewer wireless problems since following the wicd wiki guide!    Doh!

Re: [SOLVED] - Unable to Get IP

It didn't work for me after restarting a couple of times.
But today I tried booting into the Fallback Image and it worked. Now its working fine.
