I'd like to use WEP keys, and I see no refernce to that option in prefernces tab... only WPA. Anyone with experience on wicd could give me some help, plesae? TIA, Arnau Just click the tab next to each BSSID, and check enable encryption. Then, click the tab on what type of encryption, select WEP(hex), as ASCII support is a bit limited. Enter in the relevent information and join the network.

Maybe I did not explain myself correctly, but my biggest problem is that I do not see any wireless interface/netwrok... only my wired one is avalible anything needed for wireless being recognized? TIA, Arnau
