Comment 2 for bug 644175

My wife's Dell 1420N was working well with Wicd for a couple years .Two days ago when we had the normal Kubuntu 10.04 updates, it's using wicd-daemon 1.7.0+ds1-2 + linux-image-2.6.32.24-generic it stopped working with the "bad password" error.

We tried totally removing everything associated with the knetwork manager and network manager and reinstalled wicd but we still get the "bad password" error. It is interesting because removing everything related to network manger fixed it before. In the end we needed to use the gnome network manager and run nm-applet at the KDE startup in order to use the wireless.
