1 Hi all,
2
3 every time I try to start my wireless with wicd, I have to set the
4 WEP encripton key by hand (su - ; iwconfig ....) then wicd is able to
5 connect to the AP.
6
7 I have checked all network params, but I see no error in conf...
8
9 Use encyptrion
10 WEP (Passphrase)
11 and the password.
12
13 I only see this error on dmesg:
14
15 wlan1: associate with AP 00:1a:2b:6d:90:a4
16 wlan1: mismatch in privacy configuration and mixed-cell disabled - abort association
17 wlan1: privacy configuration mismatch and mixed-cell disabled - disassociate
18 wlan1: privacy configuration mismatch and mixed-cell disabled - disassociate

21 anyone has faced this error before? Cause i see many references in
22 google but most refer to a kernel conf problem... but if I can set the
23 key by hand, why wicd can't?
24 Maybe do I need to add my user to a special group?
25 $ id arnau
