With dhclient or /etc/network/interfaces. wicd doesn't see it either probably because of the firmware problem.
If it worked with wicd then you can try copying the /etc/wicd/encryption/templates/wpa-psk file to /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf and edit in your info and try it.
That is on a hard drive which died so I don't have it.
for the firmware you can try the firmware-linux-nonfree package which does contain some Orinoco firmware.
I have that installed. There has been a problem in the past with agere_X_fw.bin files but they seem to be the right ones now.
apt-cache show firmware-linux-nonfree to see if your card is one of them.
The Orinoco Silver (Hermes I Lucent Agere) is. The 8185 does not seem to be.
I'm trying to see why the firmware is not working for the Orinoco card and will start a separate thread if I can't get that figured out.
Thanks, Paul
