[gentoo-user] wicd will not connect to wireless network

[Dan Johansson]

Hi,

After running an update yesterday (about 50 packages) on my ~x86 laptop, wicd stopped working, and no wicd was not updated neither was any other network related packages.
Today after a reboot my wireless network refused to start from wicd, starting it manually works.
This is a part of the wicd.log:

Running the commands "by hand" everything works:

# wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c /var/lib/wicd/configurations/000f90ac2780 -D wext

# wpa_cli status
Selected interface 'wlan0'
bssid=00:0f:90:ac:27:80

ip_address=192.168.1.21

# /sbin/dhcpcd -h mutgdjoda1 --noipv4ll wlan0

And my wireless connection works!

Anny suggestions what's wrong?
