I suspect it has less to do with the version of wicd, and more with
the wpa_supplicant configuration on your system.  (wpa_supplicant is
the software that handles all of the authentication for wireless
networking.)

  http://w1.fi/wpa_supplicant/

In the wicd "Advanced Settings" preferences tab, which WPA Supplicant
driver is selected?  My copy says "You should almost always use wext".

There may be some Slackware-specific configuration required to get
wpa_supplicant to support the entire range of protocols, but my brain
is empty of such knowledge.
