Is the radio turned on? Try "iwlist scan" if no results, then could be problem. Also with wicd you need a minimal /etc/network/interfaces file. iwconfig will show if radio is on. You may need to check the prefs in wicd to make sure the correct device is shown in the device section. -- "Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet." -- Napoleon Bonaparte -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
