How to fix wicd 1.7.0+ds1-5 Connection Failed: Bad Password on Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Merkaaat)
It was related with network manager but that’s because wpa suplicant is being used more than once at same time.
I’ll explain:
First time when i got this error i digged all the foruns, all was pointing to be a problem with network-manager. It’s almost correct! What was happening was, as you said, wicd and n-man were both using wpa supplicant at same time. Well i never had any network manager on my dist, wicd was the default.
I looked at this:
“wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c /var/lib/wicd/configurations/0022b0aa424a -D wext”
it wasn’t really genuine, but i realised that wicd was loading all configuration files from /var/liv/wicd/configurations ( were 3 in my case ) and that would explain why i was able to connect sometimes after reboot and others don’t ( “loading lag”) and also why if i suspended or the connection died i couldn’t connect again.
This also explains why people with fresh install could resolve the connection problem after deleting network manager and those who had upgraded wicd couldn’t. ( old config being loaded ).
SOLUTION (plz update your post as it is very good and the reason i found this :P):
Delete all those configs!
Reboot!
Atleast worked for me and makes sence. Try and gimme some feedback.
Peace and Love.
