| I installed dhcpcd-ui and dhcpcd-ui was able to connect to my "AP" without me doing any configuration in the older, gentoo-sources-3.10.17 kernell but when I rebooted to gentoo-sources-3.17.7 dhcpcd-ui would not connect and was saying that I needed to enter in a new password (bad password). This lead me to 2 conclusions: 1) the issue is not with wicd/dhcpcd-ui/wpa_gui but this was an issue with the kernel and 2) the issue probably had something to do with the OS not able to authenticate with the "AP" (my router is configured to use WPA2 Personal AES). After searching the kernel config options I found that there is an option, CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES that I did not have enabled. After enabling this option, recompiling the kernel and rebooted into the new kernel everything worked. So that was the issue. Also I don't see any mention for this option to be enabled in the gentoo wiki for wifi access so I guess I need to submit a bug report so the wiki can inform users to add this kernel option if AES is used. Thank you all for your help. |

Thanks for doing. Now, I am getting confused as I definitely not have CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_NI_INTEL activated, see http://i.imgur.com/HPmG8nr.png.
All my (protected) APs have | Quote: | proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP |
So your new wiki contribution better point out it's only needed for APs using AES? |

| What about wpa_supplicant? Are you using or does it need any of the eap-sim or fasteap USE flag activated to work for you? |

| I compiled fasteap into wpa_supplicant and it worked but I have not compiled wpa_supplicant without fasteap to verify. |
