Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: wicd
"upgrading" reinstalled all the stuff I removed because it didn't work
well including network-manager. Removing it now renders my system
unbootable (it stops at a text screen but X never comes up), but the
applet is still broken, taking over a minute before it will display an
AP which has been on for an hour, it has no refresh button to speed
things up although this bug was reported two years ago.
wicd will only connect via ethernet. With nm-applet installed, it seems
to work fine, but if it isn't there I don't seem to be able to set the
ESSID for my eth1 wireless interface, even on the command line -
iwconfig eth1 essid my-ap will show as "" in a subsequent iwconfig.
Wicd will attempt to access the interface (and instantly discovers every
AP), but the dhcp it launches will fail after several seconds.
** Affects: wicd (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
