Comment 27 for bug 273336

wicd does not solve the problem for me. Still the WLAN is not working.

I have installed wicd and removed the network manager package as requested by ubuntu. Took me some time to realise that one needs to use the synaptic package administration for that. I also de-installed the gnome network manager cause I thought this is the program in question to allow wicd to operate. Now wicd is up and running, but it doesn't find any wireless networks.

However, when I use "networks" under "system", there still is the old game of entering the new password and seeing how it is changed back to another 64-one. So the system does find the network but does not connect due to the password-change issue.

I think this is quite a critical issue for using ubuntu. If I can't connect to networks, I can't use the computer. All the other stuff like open office etc. is fine, but I can't invest more time to get my WLAN running. I'm afraid I will have to go back to windows soon.
