Bug Description
On one computer, installed wicd, deleted network-manager, but would not connect until I turned on broadcast ESSID at router. On other computer as soon as I turned on broadcast the regular network-manager connected.
Original post:
After disconnecting wireless connection I could not reconnect. I rebooted computer several times. I rebooted the wireless equipment (Comcast cable modem, Linksys VoIP phone adapter and router, Linksys WRT54GL router). The router's name is "capeblanco". Below are outputs from debugging commands listed in a forumpost. Thanks for any help.
