Do you have any unicode ESSID in range? i.e. try "iwlist wlan0 scan" (change
wlan0 if that's not your device), and see if any ESSID like \xAA\xBB\xCC pops
up.

Today I think I fixed a long-time bug with unicode ESSIDs in wicd (which
prevented it from connecting to them); are you able to apply a patch to files
installed on your system? Or do you prefer a new package to test?

If the former is true, please find a patch attached: you might need to tweak
the filepaths there (as it's a patch against the upstream repository), but it's
very small :) (diffstat says: 4 files changed, 20 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-))

Please don't hesitate to ask for a package to test, if you're unable to deal
with the patch :)

Thanks,
David
