Wicd + WPA = Connection Failed, Bad Password?

[diego73]

This is that work for me.

After try the last versions from the original ubuntu repos of network manager and wicd, change router configuration and wpa_supplicant without any positive results to connect to my house wireless, then I decide to update the kernel version of my notebook from 2.6.32.xx to 2.6.35.22 and congratulations that work.

Some Data:
Distro: Ubuntu 10.04
Notebook: Sony Vaio VGN-N320E
Router: Linksys WRT160N V3

Steps to kernel update:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Some more:
Both WiCd & network manager work perfectly after update.

Before the error I have as police accept all automatically updates from ubuntu, but now I put much attention to the updates before accept it's. The old police take me to much nightmare.

Now I enjoy my wifi !!!!
