slack 13.0 wireless card stopped working
 
after doing a reconfigure of my wrt54gl router, trying to activate WEP encryption, and then finding WICD wouldn't connect, and returning to the original config on the router, now wicd won't reconnect the wireless card. here's the wicd.log entry from the attempt to connect:

anybody got any clue what's going on here?

never mind.... i played with the wicd config a bit more, unchecked the "use these settings for all networks sharing this SSID" check box, and it started working... go figure

Hi,

I'm curious to which wicd version that is being used? Stock or '-current'?

unclejed613 01-31-2010 01:33 PM

1.6.2

i think it's stock
