Package: wicd-daemon Version: 1.7.0+ds1-6 Severity: normal I've got an old Avaya PCMCIA card which uses the orinoco/orinoco_cs driver. While ifupdown works fine with it, I can't get a wireless network connection with wicd. wired network connections on the same system work fine with wicd.

Due to the "Lucent/Agere firmware doesn't support manual roaming" error message I somehow suspect that wicd tries to use a feature not present in this card and therefore fails. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'oldstable'), (500, 'stable'), (110, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.37-trunk-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=de_CH.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_CH.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages wicd-daemon depends on: ii adduser 3.112+nmu2 add and remove users and groups ii dbus 1.4.1-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.38 Debian configuration management sy ii dhcp3-client 4.1.1-P1-16 ISC DHCP server (transitional pack ii ethtool 1:2.6.34-3 display or change Ethernet device ii iproute 20110107-2 networking and traffic control too ii iputils-ping 3:20100418-3 Tools to test the reachability of ii isc-dhcp-client [dhcp 4.1.1-P1-16 ISC DHCP client ii lsb-base 3.2-27 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii net-tools 1.60-23 The NET-3 networking toolkit ii psmisc 22.13-1 utilities that use the proc file s ii pump 0.8.24-7 BOOTP and DHCP client for automati ii python 2.6.6-3+squeeze5 interactive high-level object-orie ii python-dbus 0.83.1-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii python-gobject 2.21.4+is.2.21.3-1 Python bindings for the GObject li ii python-wicd 1.7.0+ds1-6 wired and wireless network manager ii wireless-tools 30~pre9-5 Tools for manipulating Linux Wirel ii wpasupplicant 0.6.10-2.1 client support for WPA and WPA2 (I Versions of packages wicd-daemon recommends: ii wicd-cli [wicd-client] 1.7.0+ds1-6 wired and wireless network manager ii wicd-curses [wicd-client] 1.7.0+ds1-6 wired and wireless network manager ii wicd-gtk [wicd-client] 1.7.0+ds1-6 wired and wireless network manager ii wicd-kde [wicd-client] 0.2.1-5 Wired and wireless network manager Versions of packages wicd-daemon suggests: ii pm-utils 1.4.1-6 utilities and scripts for power ma Versions of packages wicd depends on: ii wicd-cli [wicd-client] 1.7.0+ds1-6 wired and wireless network manager ii wicd-curses [wicd-client] 1.7.0+ds1-6 wired and wireless network manager ii wicd-gtk [wicd-client] 1.7.0+ds1-6 wired and wireless network manager ii wicd-kde [wicd-client] 0.2.1-5 Wired and wireless network manager wicd-cli depends on no packages.
