Hi:
I have a similar problem with my EeePC 900.
Yesterday, I connected to my home router using WICD. When I did
iwconfig, my router was there but with no Encryption key. At the end
of the session, I disconnected manually but could not reconnect with
WICD. I got an authentication problem message.
This morning, iwconfig shows an Encryption key.
Cheers!
Charles
