sid fully updated

wicd connects fine if I turn wireless security on the WRT54G2 router
off. When I set the router to WPA2 - AES I get (from wicd.log)

2010/07/14 17:40:41 :: iwconfig eth2
2010/07/14 17:40:41 :: WPA_CLI RESULT IS SCANNING

TIA for any help,

network-manager is not installed.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

(...)

Try starting "wp_supplicant" in debug mode to make the log more verbose
about that error. It seems failing at some point of the authentication.

Also, try to lower the security a bit by choosing WPA-PSK (TKIP) or WPA2-
PSK (AES+TKIP) instead just AES. Stronger encryption requires better
coberture so devices can "dialogue" smoothly.

Greetings,

wicd calls wpa_supplicant with wext. I don't see a preferences setting to change
to cause more debugging.

I just tried as many variations as I could without success. I'm not 100% sure
I am always matching the router settings with the laptop wicd settings.

Thanks,

Paul
