Package: wicd
Version: 1.6.1-3
Severity: important

I have the following problem: each time I choose the wired
connection (this is the default), the settings of the DHCP
client get modified, which trashes the connection. This
problem doesn't occur when I start the DHCP client from
a shell, so that the problem necessarily comes from wicd.

I have a script that does such a modification, but it is used for
wireless only (beforescript settings in wireless-settings.conf,
and that's for SSID's that aren't even reachable here).

wired-settings.conf contains:

[wired-default]
afterscript = None
broadcast = None
predisconnectscript = None
dns3 = None
postdisconnectscript = None
dns1 = None
lastused = True
use_static_dns = False
default = 1
netmask = None
dns2 = None
beforescript = None
disconnectscript = None
ip = None
gateway = None
use_global_dns = False

so that no scripts should be executed.
