Sometimes wicd cannot connect to some wireless networks.
It is not the fault of wicd but dhcpcd.
What are you doing in this case.
Solution A. (Tested)
1. Install dhcp
2. Restart wicd
3. Go to wicd's "Preferences" (Click the arrow and the option will appear)
In "External Programs" check "chclient"
4. Connect to wifi.
Solution B. (Also tested)
1. Download the network-manager-applet and install it
2. Then turn off wicd
3. Turn on the networkmanager
4. At the bottom right of the screen you will see the networkmanager click and connect to wifi. (If it doesn't look log-out then log-in)
