Package: wicd-daemon Version: 1.6.2.2-5~exp2 Severity: normal When connecting to a WPA-protected network, it seems that wicd starts dhclient a fixed wait time after it started wpa_supplicant. If wpa_supplicant fails to authenticate with the AP in time, dhclient starts to run without hope of getting a lease.
wicd should wait until wpa_supplicant has established a link, and only then start dhclient. Conversely, if the link is lost, it might well make sense to kill dhclient, and to restart it when the link comes back. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages wicd-daemon depends on: ii adduser 3.111 add and remove users and groups ii dbus 1.2.16-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.28 Debian configuration management sy ii ethtool 6+20091202-1 display or change Ethernet device ii iproute 20090324-1 networking and traffic control too ii iputils-ping 3:20071127-2 Tools to test the reachability of ii isc-dhcp-client [dhcp3-cl 4.1.0-1 ISC DHCP client ii lsb-base 3.2-23 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii net-tools 1.60-23 The NET-3 networking toolkit ii psmisc 22.9-1 utilities that use the proc file s ii python 2.5.4-4 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-dbus 0.83.0-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii python-gobject 2.20.0-1 Python bindings for the GObject li ii wicd-curses [wicd-client] 1.6.2.2-5~exp2 wired and wireless network manager ii wicd-gtk [wicd-client] 1.6.2.2-5~exp2 wired and wireless network manager ii wireless-tools 30~pre9-3 Tools for manipulating Linux Wirel ii wpasupplicant 0.6.9-3 client support for WPA and WPA2 (I wicd-daemon recommends no packages.
