Description: wicd fails to connect to the WEP network where I work but connects to the WPA2-PSK network at home.

This happens when I attempt to use my laptop at work on the WEP wireless network. Works fine at home on my WPA2-PSK network. ESSID is a 10 digit number. Key is a 26 character code. I am using Archlinux x86_64 with a BCM4321 card on an HP dv6640us. The driver I am using is from broadcom. Kernel module is wl and lib80211_crypt_tkip. Package name is broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5. I log into xfce4 and wicd-client starts up and sees the wireless network. I click connect on the GUI and it sits there saying 'Closing Active Connections...' on the bottom with the progress bar stuck in position. I go to the terminal and do

#iwconfig eth0 essid "essid" key somekey
#dhcpcd eth0

and it connects. Wicd then shows that I have an active connection. So far I have made sure that my modules and daemons are loading in the correct order according to the wicd entry in the Arch Wiki, uninstalled wicd and removed /etc/wicd/ and then reinstalled wicd. This is documented here : http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=637752#p637752

I am not a programmer but if you need me to upload or change any files I can give it a try. If you need any more information please ask!


Additional info:
* package version(s)

wicd is version 1.6.2.2 463

* config and/or log files etc.
