It might be better to put away wicd for a moment and invoke wpa_supplicant directly with the -d switch. You may have to set the ssid first with iwconfig(8).

"wpa_supplicant" can be run directly. IIRC, "-dd" modifier switched into debug mode. "man wpa_supplicant" for additional/detailed info on how to get this done. >> Also, try to lower the security a bit by choosing WPA-PSK (TKIP) or >> WPA2- PSK (AES+TKIP) instead just AES.

Reviwer your "/etc/dbus-1/system.d/ wpa_supplicant.conf" or whatever the config file is. AP and wpa_supplicant settings must match.

You may have to set the > ssid first with iwconfig(8). I have read the man page. I apparently need a valid wpa_supplicant.conf file. The only one I can find (/etc/dbus-1/system.d/wpa...) doesn't seem to be valid. I get lots of errors about that file when I supply the -D -i and -c parameters.

There are several sample configuration files in the /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/examples directory. The wpa-psk-tkip.conf file could be a good starting point.
