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. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages wicd depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii cdebconf [debconf-2.0] 0.146 Debian Configuration Management Sy ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.27 Debian configuration management sy ii dhcp3-client 3.1.2-1 DHCP client ii iproute 20090324-1 networking and traffic control too ii lsb-base 3.2-22 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii net-tools 1.60-23 The NET-3 networking toolkit ii psmisc 22.7-1 utilities that use the proc file s ii python 2.5.4-2 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-dbus 0.83.0-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii python-glade2 2.14.1-3 GTK+ bindings: Glade support ii python-gtk2 2.14.1-3 Python bindings for the GTK+ widge ii python-support 1.0.3 automated rebuilding support for P ii python-urwid 0.9.8.4-1 curses-based UI/widget library for ii wireless-tools 29-2 Tools for manipulating Linux Wirel ii wpasupplicant 0.6.9-3 client support for WPA and WPA2 (I Versions of packages wicd recommends: ii gksu 2.0.2-2+b1 graphical frontend to su ii sudo 1.7.0-1 Provide limited super user privile Versions of packages wicd suggests: ii pm-utils 1.2.5-4 utilities and scripts for power ma -- debconf information excluded -- see shy jo
