http://ubuntuforums.org – I'm currently using WICD, which I switched to after network manager was unable to retain a wireless connection for more than 10 minutes at a time. Using WICD, my connection has been stable for months, and I've had no problems connecting to my network using WPA2. However, I just noticed that in the WICD connection info, my connection speed never tops 54Mbps (don't know how long it's been like that, since I never really looked before). I seem to be unable to connect to an N network. My router is configured as "auto g/n". If I switch it to "n only", changing nothing els (HowTos)

I've been using WICD on my eeepc 1005HA and have been able to connect to my wireless network flawlessly.  Today I was unable to connect until I noticed that both WICD and Network-Manager were trying to make the connection - seemingly fighting for control.  The problem was resolved when I killed network-manager (followed by a "chkconfig network-manager off" to keep it that

I switched to wicd a few months ago because it seemed to switch between wired and wireless very smoothly.

It's been a while since I've used wireless and now when I try I get Quote:

Connection Failed: Bad Password

every the time.

I know the password is correct b/c it is the pw I use everywhere on my laptop as well as the router and I am writing this on an old wi

Network manager was getting on my nerves with either constantly connecting to a network or asking me to do so. I dont want to have to disable my wireless (i use 2 adapters) just to get it to shut up. So I decided to use WICD. I installed WICD and then later removed NM.

Hi, I've been having problems lately with my wireless.

WAS: "Wicd can't obtain IP address of network after upgrade to sid"Edited because I've now discovered that the problem isn't caused by Wicd, but by something in the system after d-u from stable.I'm typing this on a laptop connected to the network in question (which is only WEP anyway, not even WPA) on stable w/ backports, and I haven't had an issue, so I assume s

I'm trying to use wicd instead of network manager because I want a "no fuss" way to use wireless on wmii. However, wicd will not find any networks unless network-manager has been run and has connected to a network since startup. If it hasn't connected to a wireless network, the wicd will find no networks, and iwlist won't provide a list of networks either.

Dear all:

I seem to be having "disconnects" from my wireless network where I stay connected but am unable to ping any hosts, including my router.

I would like to make a simple cron script that checks for this and reconnects.

Is there a clean way to tell wicd to reconnect?

How about sudo /etc/init.d/wicd restart?

I should mention that I have no problem connecting to this network with either networkmanager or wicd. The problem is that when I do connect it is very, very slow. Very rarely it will work but most of the time it fails to load the page in network manager. In wicd it is slightly better however it crashes constantly.

I am trying to connect to the wireless network at my university which uses PEAP with MSCHAPV2 encryption. For some reason networkmanager is able to connect just fine, but wicd gets stuck at "Validating Authentication..." I would much prefer to use wicd over networkmanager, so im hoping to be able to get to the bottom of this.Any ideas?
