I am also seeing similar behavior. I just installed Kubuntu 9.04 on an old Sony PCG-R505ECK laptop. I can set up wireless connections manually using ifconfig and iwconfig, but wicd can't do them. It has correct settings, but seems to be trying to run wpasupplicant, even though my connection is WEP, and the desktop widget correctly set for WEP/HEX. I notice that, when trying to get wicd to connect from a fresh boot, iwconfig does not report that the key has been assigned, only that the ESSID has been.
The part of this that is relevant to the report above is that, after it fails to connect, I've noticed that, coincident with momentary graying- out of the desktop widget, the channel gets changed on the wireless device (detected via "iwlist <device> frequency") I can't seem to change it back, even after I stop the wicd daemon. I suspect (guessing, really) that the basic bug is the attempt to use a wpa scheme for wep encryption, and that the channel-changing is a side- effect of failing to connect in the first place. -- Wicd problem with wep after upgrading to 9.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/369162 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
