Wicd can't find hidden network after update to 1.6.2.2-1 [Solved]

Hi, everybody
I have a problem with wicd after last night update from 1.6.2-1 to 1.6.2.2-1. I am using wireless with hidden ESSID on my linksys wrt54gl. After update to new version WICD can't find my hidden network when I go Network - Find a hidden network . My router stays hidden.
I downgrade to 1.6.0.2 as a temporary solution and it works with no problems. Does anybody else have a same problem?
Another strange thing that I didn't notice before. We have 2 computers (other one is imac with osx) that use wireless connection on same router. Yesterday I notice that my connection (wicd 1.6.2.1 on eeepc) is dropping now and then when other computer is using safari to surf?! Thats why I downgrade so low to 1.6.0.2. Any ideas?

Especially this was fixed in 1.6.2.2, so this is very strange that it doesn't work anymore. Maybe you can try this, it was mentioned in another thread which helped some people:

Restarted /etc/rc.d/wicd and let it create a new file. After that I setup my network profile again and haven't had an issue. You may want to give that a shot if you haven't tried that already...

That shouldn't be a problem which comes from wicd. wicd only uses wpa_supplicant stuff under the hood to connect to a network.

  • IPhone 3GS, doesn't find any network after updating to iOS 4.1

    I recently updated my iPhone 3GS, and now I can't find any network. This really bothers me as I need a phone. How can I fix this?

    Do the following in the order specified:
    1. Power your phone off, wait ~30 seconds, then power it back on. If no change, proceed:
    2. Reset your phone: Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release(ignore the slide to power off). If no change, proceed:
    3. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
    If no change after the above, post back.

  • Mackbook air can't find hidden network

    I've been digging  in the forums now and went over old threads that where too old so I decided to start a new one.
    I've  a MBA 13" and I have a wireless connection that is hidden with WPA2 -PSK with MAC filtering.
    I've seen some people suggest not having passwords and just leaving it hidden, which is just crazy as you an have sniffers that can find hidden networks and I'm not prepared to give out free wireless fibre.
    Has there been a solution to this? It would be nice if there was a tickbox that said "Can connect to hidden networks if saved in the list" as in dos box wireless settings.
    Others have suggested keychain, what is this?

    Have you tried clicking on the wi-fi icon on your top bar, and selecting "Join Other Network"? You will have to fill in all the info (network name, security info)
    Also, click the "Remember this network" box.
    ***Also make sure your router is allowing the MAC address of your MBA wireless adapter. (found in About this Mac, System Information-More Info-System Report under the Wi-Fi subheader of Network)

  • Can't find home network after 2.4 update

    As the title says, after updating to 2.4 my apple tv cannot see my wireless network. It can see just about every other network in my street. If I restore to 1.0 it connects fine, upgrade to 2.4, no sign of my network. I tried this 3 times now just to make sure it is not a fluke.
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    I am using a Belkin F5D8631 nothing has changed on this set up, I have 3 macs, 2 phones and a wireless printer all connected to it with no problems.
    Any suggestions?

    This may not be your problem, but:
    Channel 12 and 13 are not used in all countries, it might be that your tv is defaulting to US settings after the update, it might be the case that the tv no longer works on these channels.

  • Can't find mails anymore after update from Tiger to Leopard

    I've just updated my IMac from Tiger to Leopard (OSX 10.5.6).
    After opening the Mail program I just see the menu bar (no window for the postbox).
    When I open the postbox via the menu bar, the box is just empty. Are my mails gone? Where can I find or restore them?
    Thanks for help,
    Vanillia

    Let's force an overall reindexing via the removal of the Envelope Index. Note the special instructions when forcing the reindexing of IMAP or Exchange accounts in the following:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/3.0/en/14019.html
    This will force the reindexing of all the POP mailboxes and all On My Mac mailboxes. With regard to any IMAP accounts if you have any, the practical result of this action of removing the account folder, is that with the IMAP account still set up in the Preferences, Mail will connect to the IMAP server and create a new account folder, and while doing so will index the messages in the mailbox folders of the IMAP accounts on the server.
    Keep me posted.

  • Can't find 7510 Photosmart after updating Mac to OS X Yosemite

    Since updating to OS X 10 Yosemite, my 7510 Photosmart has not worked via wireless connection for printing or scanning.
    I've uninstalled everything and reset the printers. I've now tried to reinstall, but HP Utility still can't find the printer wirelessly.
    I clicked Specify Device Manually and entered the IP address under IPv4 from the HP Network Configuration Page that I printed direct from the device, but it says 'Device is not reachable.'
    The printer is turned on and is connected to the same wireless network as my MacBook Air.

    Hi,
    Your printer is supported. Please use the following article to fix:

  • Can no longer browse network after updates

    I finally got the Migration from SBS 2003 to Server 2012R2 standard finished but after updates I can no longer browse network from the server, it was working fine before the 52 updates went on.
    I have checked computer browser is running, DNS is working, check FDRP is running.
    Have Googled many articles regarding this and tried a lot of the solutions to no avail. 

    Hi,
    On current situation, please also refer to following steps and check something more.
    1. Please check if NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled.
    2. Please temporarily disable Firewall and monitor the result.
    3.
    àI have checked computer browser is running
    Please temporarily stop Computer Browser service and then re-start it. Any difference?
    4. Please follow the path: Control Panel-> Network and Sharing Center-> Change advanced sharing settings, then check if turn on
    Network discovery and File and printer sharing.
    Meanwhile, would you please run
    net view command and let me know the result? (Please hide all protected or private information.)
    If any update, please feel free to let me know.
    Hope this helps.

  • Update 10.1: Can't find my projects after updating

    Hi, I updated all of my media/projects to 10.1 (By having it search the drive for old media/projects)--and I have access to my events/clips in the new FCPX library system (including from my external HD), but I can't find any of my old projects... it's as if they weren't updated to the Library system or something. Even when I try to manually locate and update the project files, final cut says that it cannot find any projects to update... meaning the projects are updated? Then why don't they show up in my library?
    Thank you for any help you can offer

    Lamothe - I seem to be getting closer on this:  I created a new "Final Cut Events" and "Final Cut Projects" folders and placed just one corresponding folder in each (one project/event, respectively), then selected "update all" and FCPX did update THAT event.  The trouble is NONE of the original files linked so now I am struggling through that process.  For years now I have used Aperture to store and organize my project files (stills & video clips) but, at least at the moment, FCPX doesn't seem to want to look at Aperture and so I am having significant difficulty with relinking my files....but at least I'm getting closer.  I may just transfer all the files from Aperture into the corresponding event or project folder and see if that helps....
    Also, I don't think it's a good practice to have your media files on your main boot drive if in fact your "Macintosh HD" is the boot drive.  FCPX will function much better with the addition of a second drive, either internal or external.  Best of luck to you.

  • Can't find airport on after updating to leopard

    Hi
    I just did an install of 10.5 on a separate internal drive, turned airport on but can't locate any networks but if I reboot with 10.4 all is fine. My daughter's g4 laptop works fine as well from the same location.
    We have just moved and it's taken 3 weeks to get phone connected and then to wait for internet to be switched so I was just hoping I could plug it in and away we went.
    Any suggestions
    Marc

    Was the 10.5 install disk a retail version or was it an OEM disk that came with another Mac?

  • ITunes can't find some songs after update

    So I've read a bit about this and it's happened to me now. I did the recent iTunes upgrade and now random song files can't be found. The " ! "shows up here and there. Now when I search for that particular song, I can find and play it. It's just that maybe it was renamed or something? I cannot manually do this since I have almost 40,000 songs on a separate HD. 99% ripped from my CD collection.
    Why or how does this happen? I've been adding to my iTunes HD for 7 years or so and this was the first time this has happened.
    Anyway I read a few suggestions and so I just deleted all the music from itunes BUT saved the files and now adding all of them back which will probably take 10-15 hours. It says "organizing files" wil it's a very long haul.
    Will this work and will iTunes then again know where all of my songs are?

    Well I researched and had to "delete" the 40,000 songs from my itunes list BUT saved the files. It took 20 hours for them to repair and then were fixed in one place with no "!" What a pain.
