WICD and r8192e_pci
 
I have a samsung n130 netbook running zenwalk 7.0 and tinycore. When I try to use WICD as a ntwork manager it will not connect to the access point (using wep) unless i type in a terminal "iwconfig essid Waaaaa key XXXX" and from there it connects as normal. It's driving me mad as I don't like when things don't work properly, it also did this in opensuse 11.3. Anyone know a solution to this? Below is the output of dmesg if that's any help...

Hello,

have you tried to connect without wicd? My wireless network has wpa2 encryption, I use only wpa_supplicant. wpa_supplicant can also manage wep.

Could you please post the relevant parts of your /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf?

I can connect fine without wicd, which is what annoys me. For now I have everything set to connect automatically at startup using wpa_supplicant and rc.inet1.conf (thanks for the tip, markush), where before I was doing it manually. It just annoys me because I can plug my alfa card in and use wicd to connect fine on wlan1 but when i try to connect using wlan0 (the r8192e_pci card) it tells me the password is bad. I suppose i have to live with it for now though. Thanks again

Hello superdog,

I don't know if this works if your system has different wireless NICs wlan0 and wlan1, but I'm using my laptop in several networks and I have an entry for every network in my wpa_supplicant.conf. It connects to the available network automatically.

Note that there are manpages for wpa_supplicant and wpa_supplicant.conf as well (which in your case may be more interesting).

Do you have the respective entries for your wlan1 in your /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf file?

I actually configured my router for wpa even though it has wep also, as wpa is supposed to be more secure. It even connects my wheezy os which drops connection on wep security.

do NOT use WEP. It is very insecure and simple to crack.

modprobe r8193 would load the correct kernel module. WICD is superior to networkmanager but does use wpa. Not sure why it wouldn't connect to wep.
