Ok, I had assumed that because the subsequent connections failed at the "getting IP" stage until a restart, the problem was wicd trying the wrong network. But as this is only a display problem, then either there is another bug which prevents wicd connecting to a second network without a restart, or I was just unlucky with those particular connection attempts - I've only tried it on three or four occasions. I'll test further next time I'm out with my laptop. Regards, John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
