Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I just installed wicd from debian repos.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Tried typing a password for our Wireless network
* What was the outcome of this action?
ESSID : MyWG
setting encryption info...

return s.translate(None, table)
TypeError: translate() takes exactly one argument (2 given)
* What outcome did you expect instead?
wicd should connect to the wireless network
The solution to the problem was to replace line 1067 in
/usr/share/wicd/daemon/wicd-daemon.py:
instead of just:
prop = misc.sanitize_config(prop)
add:
prop = misc.sanitize_config(str(prop))
of course one needs to restart wicd, with service wicd restart to apply
this.

Hope this works for everyone,
Oz
