Got a similar problem but ONLY on mixed mode network. When network is set to G-only (on my wireless router) wicd works fine. When I set the network to NG-Mixed mode wicd is unable to connect - bad password. Network-manager works fine so this is a problem with wicd. Hardware is Intel ipw3945 and using WPA2 AES Encryption.
