Package: wicd
Version: 1.5.9-5
Severity: normal
Recently, wicd has started claiming that the active network is wired,
even when it isn't. It's very obvious - you pick a wireless network,
and it goes through the entire connection sequence correctly, and then
it says "ok! I'm connected to the wired network." All the user interfaces
are consistent in this error.
