A latecomer! G4 iMac install of YDL 6.1, before I try an install of 6.2 perhaps you might be able to help with my wicd issue. Won't start, the window pops up for a split second. On E17 I get the error log below. I've tried the patch for my version with no change. I've a WEP connection with a HEX key.
Thanks very much.

Two things.
1. The patch was developed and tested on PlayStation 3 systems only, due to a bug in their network hardware. I'm not exactly sure what it will do on a Mac. I
think it will work okay - but since I don't have a Mac, I can't guarantee it. I would try without the patch first.
2. There's a good chance the wicd daemon isn't starting. Wicd has two pieces - a daemon (like a windows service) and a GUI to configure it. There is a known bug in YDL 6.1 where the GUI sets a parameter incorrectly so the service won't start. The fix is here:
http://us.fixstars.com/support/advisories.shtml Scroll down to the
If Wicd Network Manager dies after reboot ... section. Also - that guide was written with the
sudo command, which isn't present in YDL by default. Use
su -l instead of
sudo for that step.
Cheers,
Paul
