I think, it's not wicd bug. Neither iwconfig, nor iw work correctly. They disconnect „by local choice (reason=3)“, whatever it means. I have wicd stopped and nm uninstalled, so they should not interfere. The networks turns offline after sending 10 ping packets, all the times I tried to connect. I'm sitting next to the router and I'm the sole user of the network. May it be some configuration bug?.. I still have no problems with this very router and this very notebook if I select WPA encryption and connect with wicd.
