heya,

I'd just like to add I encountered the same issue (at least I believe so).

I just reconfigured the AP at our apartment, and in the process, we changed our ESSID (as well as our WPA key).

Either way, when I tried to connect again with Wicd, it failed, saying it was unable to get an IP address.

I tried deleting the configuration in /var/lib/wicd/configurations for this particular network, with no effect.

Then I read this bug report, and removed the corresponding lines from /etc/wicd/wireless-settings.conf, which seems to have fixed the problem (as attested by the fact that I am now online, and posting here...lol).

This is on Arch Linux, running Wicd 1.6.2.2 (Package is local/wicd 1.6.2.2-3 on Arch Linux)

Cheers,
Victor
