The problems seems to be that dhcpcd was started automatically as soon as a service needed "the network" - in my case dhcpcd was started due to /etc/init.d/sshd. At the moment I have solved it with putting "rc_dhcpcd_provide="!net"" in /etc/rc.conf which prevents dhcpcd to start when sshd is started and wicd can now do it's magic. -- Dan Johansson, <http://www.dmj.nu> *************************************************** This message is printed on 100% recycled electrons! ***************************************************
