Details

Summary and Info:

When wicd loads and I set the essid since it's hidden it goes through a never ending session of attempting to connect but never connects to my router.

wifi card- ipw3945 driver

Network profiles work fine but figured something like wicd would be nice.

Added wicd daemon after hal in rc.conf and have tray.py set to auto load in xfce.

If you need more info please let me know.

Steps to Reproduce:

All I do is open wicd connections add my essid since it's hidden and click connect.

This is probably related to the configurations folder bug which another user is having(search flyspray). I'll have an update ready by today.

ok just tried the new package 1.3.1-9 and it does not work I get the same affect of it going through the connect process over and over and never actually connects, just keeps cycling through on an endless loop.

Ok solved the issue...wicd requires dhclient to work. Once I installed dhclient everything worked fine.

Final report dhclient is what fixed the issue for me...Although namcap does not list dhclient as a dependency. After complete reboot all works as it should now.

one more thing for all the icons on the interface to work you need the gnome-icon-theme package.
