wireless connections and wicd

[djemos]

Sometimes wicd cannot connect to some wireless networks.
It is not the fault of wicd but dhcpcd.

What are you doing in this case.
Solution A. (Tested)
1. Install dhcp

Code: Select all

sudo slapt-get -u
sudo slapt-get -i dhcp 

2. Restart wicd

Code: Select all

sudo service restart wicd 

3. Go to wicd's "Preferences" (Click the arrow and the option will appear)
In "External Programs" check "chclient"
4. Connect to wifi.

Solution B. (Also tested)
1. Download the network-manager-applet and install it

Code: Select all

sudo slapt-get -u
sudo slapt-get -i-network-manager-applet 

2. Then turn off wicd

Code: Select all

sudo service stop wicd 

3. Turn on the networkmanager

Code: Select all

sudo service start networkmanager 

4. At the bottom right of the screen you will see the networkmanager click and connect to wifi. (If it doesn't look log-out then log-in)
You can uninstall wicd

Code: Select all

sudo spkg -d wicd
