Paul, /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant exists and is called by /etc/rc.d/rc.wireless. However, while the above-referenced Web page tells us that WPA-PSK is equivalent to WPA-Personal, neither option shows up in my version of wicd (1.7.2.4). > In the wicd "Advanced Settings" preferences tab, which WPA Supplicant > driver is selected?

Perhaps one of the other Slackware users here can offer suggestions. Otherwise, it's off to linuxquestions.org.
