Wicd not playing well with networks that utilize network access control
- by Sion
Starting a couple months ago (might be able to find exact date if necessary) my installation of Wicd stopped being able to see wireless networks that use NAC (Network Access Control) such as Aruba networks. But if I shut down Wicd and start NetworkManager I can connect to said networks and log in to them depending on what the NAC requires.
This is the current wicd package installed:
net-misc/wicd-1.7.1_pre20111210-r1
This is how I manipulate the network manager running:
su -c'/etc/init.d/wicd stop; /etc/init.d/NetworkManager start'
What would cause this specific of a problem to occur?
