Does iwconfig give you an error if you try to do this by hand? > 2) However, I cannot connect to a WEP encrypted network.

Could it be > that wicd just doesn't work for my hardware? It sounds like your driver is behaving strangely. You can try running the commands you see in the log by hand to debug, with some minor adjustments: /sbin/dhclient -v -r eth0 ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 /sbin/ip route flush dev eth0 ifconfig eth0 down ifconfig eth0 up ifconfig ra0 down /sbin/dhclient -v -r ra0 ifconfig ra0 0.0.0.0 wpa_cli -i ra0 terminate /sbin/ip route flush dev ra0 iwconfig ra0 mode Managed ifconfig ra0 up wpa_supplicant -i ra0 -c /var/lib/wicd/configurations/001f90d4a790 -D wext (run this in its own window, also note the -B option has been removed, which causes wpa_supplicant to fork into the background) iwconfig ra0 essid TG374 iwconfig ra0 channel 6 iwconfig ra0 ap 00:1F:90:D4:A7:90 Then watch the wpa_supplicant window for stuff that looks like an error. Also, does the encryption key in iwconfig actually show up as DEAD-BEEF-AD? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ wicd-devel mailing list wicd-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wicd-devel
