Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: wicd
Sorry if this is poor reporting... First time post.
Running jaunty (9.04) alpha 4 which was installed on two laptops (Dell
Inspiron 1520, and Dell Mini [Inspiron 910]) by booting of a USB key
using the Alternate CD. Downloaded via torrents.
Remove network-manager (cannot remember if it was automatically during the
install of wicd or I did a sudo apt-remove network-manager)
Installed wicd (version 1.5.9 (.1?))
When I attempt to connect to my WPA2 network, a couple of interesting things
happen...
1. The client tray icon will show limited (yellow bar) connection, then no
connection, where it will automatically try and reconnect (to the same WPA2
network) showing a limited connection, where the process repeats. The tooltip
will say connected at 0%.
2. If I open the tray icon to display all the networks, the wireless connects
and shows connected as 100% for a few seconds until it tries to reconnect.
3. The /var/log/wicd/wicd.log (right name?) shows no errors, it connects and
just reconnects.
Workaround: If I edit the preferences within the client (not for the
wireless network) and uncheck the auto reconnect upon disconnect... The
tray icon still shows the limited connection. I believe the tooltip
still displays 0%... But the connection is constant. The network
displays stays at 100%. (I am sitting about 3 feet away from my
router.)
Alright so for the time being I have put 8.10 back on both laptops...
But I am willing to reinstall 9.04 on the Dell Inspiron 1520, if someone
wants me to troubleshoot this further?
