That gave me the push I needed. I checked the key in wicd's advanced settings (Karl's famous "tiny little arrow") and sure enough it was one from a previous attempt to reconfigure. I had forgotten to change it. No wonder it wouldn't authenticate. > WPA (TKIP) or WPA2 (AES) are encryption methods and both would use a > separate backend radius server for authentication. I have no reason to doubt you but I'm successfully (I think) running WPA with TKIP and no server. What am I missing?
