Hi,
since I upgraded wicd to v. 1.7.1~b3-1 today, I cannot connect anymore
with wicd (I switched back to network-manager, that I always keep
installed as a safety).
The mistake is very similar to the one reported here. Feel free to
change this bug report to wicd package, or to change its criticality if
needed.
Nothing happens if I try to connect with wicd-kde (I do see a list of
available networks, but that's it). Trying to launch wicd-curses gives
this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/wicd/curses/wicd-curses.py", line 1063, in <module>

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 5:
ordinal not in range(128)
So there is indeed a bug where some informations that can be in utf-8
format are only expected to be in ascii by wicd (I don't know which
parameter is , concerned in the reported line 358 of sicd-curses.py, but
I suspect it is about the encoding of self.essid, that is indeed
unlikely to only contain ASCII characters). This bug seems critical, as
wicd cannot be used in this case.
Thank you,
Raphaël
