Package: wicd Version: 1.7.0+ds1-3 Severity: grave Dear David,
the recent upgrade broke wicd completely. Connection is not possible anymore to a wireless network. It finds the access points, but connections always breaks: 2010/05/25 14:30:01 :: Putting interface up... refreshing... ESSID : XXXXXXXX ESSID : XXXXXXXX ESSID : XXXXXXXX ESSID : XXXXXXXX ESSID : XXXXXXXX ESSID : XXXXXXXX ESSID : <hidden> ESSID : XXXXXXXX ESSID : \x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00 2010/05/25 14:30:03 :: Running DHCP with hostname mithrandir 2010/05/25 14:30:03 :: Usage: dhcpcd [options] <interface> 2010/05/25 14:30:03 :: 2010/05/25 14:30:03 :: 2010/05/25 14:30:03 :: DHCP connection successful 2010/05/25 14:30:03 :: not verifying 2010/05/25 14:30:03 :: Connecting thread exiting. 2010/05/25 14:30:07 :: Sending connection attempt result Success 2010/05/25 14:30:07 :: Autoconnecting... So there is the Usage which makes me nervous. Actually the associations works out as shown in the syslog: May 25 14:30:03 mithrandir kernel: [15062.618688] wlan0: authenticate with 00:24:c4:ab:bd:e2 (try 1) May 25 14:30:03 mithrandir kernel: [15062.621292] wlan0: authenticated May 25 14:30:03 mithrandir kernel: [15062.621342] wlan0: associate with 00:24:c4:ab:bd:e2 (try 1) May 25 14:30:03 mithrandir kernel: [15062.625128] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:24:c4:ab:bd:e2 (capab=0x421 status=0 aid=2) May 25 14:30:03 mithrandir kernel: [15062.625136] wlan0: associated but dhcpcd is borken.
