Package: wicd
Version: 1.6.1-3
Severity: wishlist
I'm using wicd here at DebConf9, as the wireless network is still being
built out. The wifi network uses essid "debconf" for dozens of APs, with
more being added all the time. wicd will only automatically connect to
these if they're each checked in the GUI. So as I move around I keep
having to open the GUI and check all new "debconf" networks, which is
a bit annoying.
The per-AP configuration is useful, especially when one of the APs is
broken and should not be connected to. But there should really be a way
to group all APs with the same name together and enable automatically
connecting to any such AP.

Missed that somehow. Seems like it would have worked tho.
