Bug 282409 – net-misc/wicd-1.6.2 & net-misc/dhcp-3.1.2_p1 - Wireless connection fail

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description François Bonelle 2009-08-23 08:36:16 UTC]

After updating wicd from version 1.5.9-r1 to latest stable version (1.6.2), wireless connection was impossible (wpa2).

Removing net-misc/dhcp and installing instead net-misc/dhcpcd-4.0.13 solved the problem.

Reproducible: Always

To quote the whiteboard of bug 274782: "Unknown problem with dhclient, upstream is aware of issues. Not Gentoo specific"

Sorry.
