wicd doesn't connect to wpa wireless network. I suspect the reason is that it doesn't save the wpa-passphrase entered in the gui (ncurses doesn't work either). Reproducible: Always
This is a known issue that should be fixed in 1.7.2.3. So, I guess just a version bump is needed.
I have a version-bumped ebuild in my repo, if anyone's interested. It's working for me.
