Hi,

I have a Trendnet TEW-421PC which has a Realtek 8185 chipset.
Installing the driver with ndiswrapper seemed to work fine.

ifup wlan0 fails to get a connection.

syslog just echoes the failure to get a working lease.

<SNIP>

I have iface wlan0 net dhcp in /etc/network/interfaces

I also have wicd installed and it doesn't see any wireless networks.

Which wicd files do you have installed?

wicd.log log says:
Unable to autoconnect

I also use wicd.  Here is the interfaces file

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
  up route add -net 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 dev lo
  down route del -net 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 dev lo

Wicd will not work with a wlan0 entry or an eth0 entry in the interfaces file.

Instead you have to configure the /etc/wicd/*.conf files
manager-settings.conf  wired-settings.conf wireless-settings.conf
they each have a man page.

If you are trying to connect to a secure AP you will also have to
install the wpasupplicant package and configure it as well.
