I've had problems with wicd being flaky in connecting to my hidden WPA2 network. I sort of fixed it by writing a template that scanned for the hidden ESSID and then used the passphrase that was entered in the Properties dialogue.
This evening I decided to upgrade the passphrase from 30 to 63 characters, and the "bad password" complaint is back again. My Nokia E63 cellphone handles the new passphrase with no problem, and I can connect successfully from the laptop using wpa_supplicant in a script. Wicd version is 1.7.0. The laptop (EeePC 900) is running Lucid with openbox. The system was built up from a command line install and network manager has never been part of it. I may try an earlier version of wicd and see what happens. If that doesn't work, I still have the script to fall back on. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/540070 Title: wicd connect to wpa2 wireless network bad password -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
