(dropping your original bugreport, let's keep discussion in the first bug only) > I edited the file as you requested and the GTK client just stays stuck > at Scanning in the main window and never shows a list of APs. Ok. Could you please instead try: $ wicd-cli -ly ? > After moving the line as requested to above the one specified, In message #79, I clarified that the edited line should have been put _after_ the one I specified :) > then I could not even get a wired connection to work. That shouldn't really happen.

And the line is the "modified version", right? What if, leaving the line at 1258, you modify it this way? ap['essid'] = ap['essid'].replace(u'\x00', '') This should really be the definitive fix -- if it works, you obviously don't need to paste logs or anything ;) > I did restart the wicd daemon each time after closing the GTK client. Ok, thanks. Also, you should remove all *.pyc and *.pyo files. Here's a handy copy-and-paste line: rm /usr/lib/python*/*-packages/wicd/*.pyc /usr/lib/python*/*-packages/wicd/*.pyo /usr/share/wicd/*/*.pyc /usr/share/wicd/*/*.pyo Thanks very much for your help!
