Bug 894646

The problem is that python-urwid 1.1.1 changed the API and is therefor incompatible with wicd 1.7.2.4

Please post the complete traceback you are seeing.  Also, when an update is posted it goes to the testing repo.  If you can, please test the update from the testing repo and then report whether or not it works for you.  Generally speaking, no one ever tests wicd updates and they sit in the testing repo for 14 days and then I move them to stable.

Here is the traceback from version 1.7.2.4-3.fc18.  There doesn't appear to be a newer version in updates-testing or on koji.  I will test if any become available.

I'm getting the same error on rawhide.

Version 1.7.3 _partially_ fixes this. The first time I try to configure a network, I get this traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/wicd/curses/wicd-curses.py", line 1134, in call_update_ui

  File "/usr/share/wicd/curses/netentry_curses.py", line 543, in set_values
    wireless.GetWirelessProperty(networkID, 'bitrate')
ValueError: None is not in list


But, I'm able to connect to a network via wicd-gtk, and once this connection is saved, it can be modified later using wicd-curses.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '18'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be 
able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior to Fedora 18's end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

going to try the patch

Also got this bug in fc20, trying to connect to a WPA2 network. My real interest in wicd would be if it allows creating an access point in XFCE. Network Manager allows creation of access points, but only of type WEP, and in (Gnome) Desktop, not in XFCE.
