Hi,
Wicd is mostly not working for me on networks using WPA2 including a
Linksys WRT54G2 router I configured myself for WPA2. Testing this
connection when encryption is disabled works fine. When I set the
router to WPA2 Personal I currently get:
Connection failed: bad password
--SNIP--

I'm using backported wicd 1.6.2.2 on lenny. It authenticates
successfully using WPA2 with a WRT54G router. For encryption type I use
"WPA 1/2 Preshared Key" and enter the key in hexadecimal. No trouble.
How does that compare with your settings?
This may lead me to ideas not made clear in docs I have read so far.
I am using WPA2 Personal with a text based password which appears to be
converted to a key by wicd.
How you create a Preshared Key?
In terms of either wicd or the router what's the difference between a
key and a password?
Thanks,
Paul
