I'm having a problem connecting with encryption enabled.

My setup is a Desktop and a Dell latitude laptop both running Ubuntu 
8.04 and both running wicd (at the moment). The desktop is hard wired to 
the Linksys WRT54GL router. If I configure the router with the web based 
utility and don't enable encryption I can connect and access everything 
on the net with no problem. If I go back and enable wpa or wpa2 and 
save, the connection is dropped. When I try to reconnect the error
message says that "this network requires encryption to be enabled" even
though the network is detected as having wpa or wpa2 encryption. Opening
advanced settings on wicd shows encryption to be enabled. I tried 
entering a random string as a pass phrase when I set up the encryption
and also tried letting the configuration automatically do it, both with 
no luck.

Also, even when I connect unsecured, the desktop won't connect.

At this point I am beginning to look at the block wall in my back yard 
and wonder if I can put the router through it.

Any help *greatly* appreciated.
