Package: wicd Version: 1.7.0+ds1-5+squeeze3 Severity: normal
When using wicd-client with a Verizon issued wireless router, no IP is allocated when attempting to connect. The status indicators at the bottom of the window do make it through connecting to the AP. However when it tries to get an IP, none is issued and the status message indicates such. The system logs indicate the same thing, i.e. no DCHPOFFERs to the repeated DCHPDISCOVERs. Similar behavior if dhcpcd is used. The router is setup for WEP encryption. A manual setup with the router does work, e.g. % iw wlan0 connect wifi-network-name key 0:secretpw % dhclient -v wlan0 Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client 4.1.1-P1 Copyright 2004-2010 Internet Systems Consortium.

And so there is no networking problem. This probably is just another data point since I'm just visiting at the location which illicits this problem. I expect I'll be away from it by the time a developer gets to this report. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.5 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages wicd depends on: ii wicd-daemon 1.7.0+ds1-5+squeeze3 wired and wireless network manager ii wicd-gtk [wicd-clie 1.7.0+ds1-5+squeeze3 wired and wireless network manager wicd recommends no packages. wicd suggests no packages.
