Can't connect to wifi

[doligal]

Hi guys

I'm completely new to BT, although I do have some experience of Ubuntu and Knoppix.
The problem is, I can't connect to an encrypted AP via wifi. Wicd network manager gives a list of APs (when it does indeed open), but I get a message that the network is encrypted and I cannot connect - even if I know the encryption key.
Thanks

For Me, The Wicd manager doesn't even start.

Can some one help me???

What I do to just connect my wireless with a GUI is, in a terminal type:

wicd && wicd-client &

Or if running persistant ie: Hard Drive or USB install, make a shortcut on the Desktop with that as the application.

Dahaka, have you typed :

/etc/init.d/wicd start

in the terminal. lt won't start otherwise.

hi,

Have you try to lauck the deamon of wicd by "/etc/init.d/wicd start" ?

If not, do it in a shell then "wicd" to invoque the gui .

Hope it can help.
