Package: dhcpcd-gtk
Version: 0.7.9-5
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: invernom...@paranoici.org

Hello!
Thanks for maintaining this Debian package.

I gave it a try on a laptop, in order to manage dhcpcd, but I cannot
seem to make it work for wireless networks.

I did the following:

  # echo 'update_config=1' > /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
  # echo 'ctrl_interface=DIR=/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev' >> 
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
  # chmod 0600 /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
  # systemctl restart wpa_supplicant.service
  # systemctl restart dhcpcd.service

Then, as a regular user (belonging to group netdev) within my X session,
I issued the following command:

  $ dhcpcd-gtk &

An icon appeared on my systray (in lxpanel), but it corresponds to
"no network" (see attachment).
Hovering on the icon shows a tip that says that no network is associated
(see second attachment).
Right-clicking on the icon shows a menu with "Preferences", "About", and
"Quit" entries.
I cannot find any list of available wireless networks, I cannot click
on one of them in order to connect, enter passphrase, disconnect, ...

What's wrong or missing?
What did I fail to understand?

Please clarify, thanks for your time!
