Having some trouble getting my Edimax ew-7711uan usb dongle [ralink chip] to work under wicd.
The daemon appears not to start. Here is the cli stuff:
tc@box:~$ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
dummy0 no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated
Tx-Power=0 dBm
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Power Management:on
tc@box:~$ sudo wicd-start
stopped /usr/local/bin/dbus-daemon (pid 8458 7494)
tc@box:~$ wicd-cli
Error: Could not connect to the daemon. Please make sure it is running.
tc@box:~$
And here is the wicd log:
wicd initializing...

Wondered if it is a python 2.6/2.7 issue.
-
wicd-2.6 is still python-2.6 (as it's name suggests).
From dmesg, wicd is using/trying to use both python-2.6 and python-2.7.
I'd suggest to reboot, make sure you have only python-2.6 extensions loaded and try again.

Thanks...
Hmmm I wonder if there is a plan to rebuild wicd against python 2.7?
My obmenu and catfish are 2.7 but wicd is 2.6.
Maybe I should skip wicd for the moment and see what else works.

wicd bug with python 2.7 is fixed in trunk
