Something is really screwy here. I replaced NetworkManager with wicd and rebooted. As a user I run 'wicd-client -n' and get a nice GTK GUI box showing all wireless APs around the neighborhood. Ours is at the top with 100% connectivity. However, trying to connect fails. According to wicd-client, it's a bad password, but it's the same one I use on my Dell to access the local AP.
The properties tab for our wireless AP lets me specify static IP address; whether I do makes no difference in connecting. It also has two choices for WAP2 security: password and preshared key. Again, it doesn't matter which I select, the entered shared kay won't work. This makes no sense to me. The same shared key/password works on the Dell running Slackware-current, but won't on the Toshiba Satellite running xubuntu-10.10. Is there anything other than replacing Xubuntu with Slackware that might fix the problem?
