Package: wicd Version: 1.6.2.2-1 Severity: normal I know this is not very informative but I can't find more information.
As I had mentioned in 545141, I am not able to connect to network some times. The fix in 545141 applies to me and it did fix that problem of associating to the ap. Now the new problem is that my wireless device is associated to the ap but still it doesn't connect Here are the relevant logs: 2009/09/16 17:37:15 :: iwconfig eth1 mode managed 2009/09/16 17:37:15 :: Putting interface up... 2009/09/16 17:37:15 :: ifconfig eth1 up 2009/09/16 17:37:15 :: enctype is None 2009/09/16 17:37:15 :: ['iwconfig', 'eth1', 'essid', 'netapp'] 2009/09/16 17:37:15 :: iwconfig eth1 channel 11 2009/09/16 17:37:15 :: iwconfig eth1 ap 00:1A:A2:82:64:C0 2009/09/16 17:37:15 :: Running DHCP 2009/09/16 17:37:15 :: /sbin/dhclient eth1 2009/09/16 17:37:15 :: Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.1.2p1 2009/09/16 17:37:15 :: Copyright 2004-2009 Internet Systems Consortium. 2009/09/16 17:37:15 :: All rights reserved. 2009/09/16 17:37:15 :: For info, please visit http://www.isc.org/sw/dhcp/ 2009/09/16 17:37:15 :: 2009/09/16 17:37:16 :: Listening on LPF/eth1/00:16:6f:ba:2f:12 2009/09/16 17:37:16 :: Sending on LPF/eth1/00:16:6f:ba:2f:12 2009/09/16 17:37:16 :: Sending on Socket/fallback 2009/09/16 17:37:16 :: DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8 2009/09/16 17:37:24 :: DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 10 2009/09/16 17:37:34 :: DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 21 2009/09/16 17:37:55 :: DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 17 2009/09/16 17:38:12 :: DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 5 2009/09/16 17:38:17 :: No DHCPOFFERS received. 2009/09/16 17:38:17 :: No working leases in persistent database - sleeping. 2009/09/16 17:38:17 :: DHCP connection failed 2009/09/16 17:38:17 :: exiting connection thread 2009/09/16 17:38:17 :: Sending connection attempt result dhcp_failed 2009/09/16 17:38:17 :: ifconfig eth0 2009/09/16 17:38:17 :: ifconfig eth1 2009/09/16 17:38:17 :: iwconfig eth1 2009/09/16 17:38:19 :: ifconfig eth0 2009/09/16 17:38:19 :: ifconfig eth1 2009/09/16 17:38:21 :: ifconfig eth0 2009/09/16 17:38:21 :: ifconfig eth1 2009/09/16 17:38:23 :: ifconfig eth0 All I see is that no dhcp ip was offered. Problem is that on the other laptop (running NetworkManager under Fedora), the same just worked. This makes me think that it might be a wicd problem. I have a question though. r...@champaran:~ $ sudo iwconfig eth1 [sudo] password for rrs: eth1 unassociated ESSID:"netapp" Mode:Managed Frequency=2.437 GHz Access Point: 00:1A:A2:82:6B:70 Bit Rate:0 kb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm Sensitivity=8/0 Retry limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 It shows that the essid is the correct one, but it lists it as "unassociated". Is this something wicd is not doing by itself ?
