Package: wicd
Version: 1.7.0+ds1-6
Severity: wishlist

The wicd-manager-settings.conf(5) man page says:

       link_detect_tool = <0|1|2>
              0 = autodetect
              1 = ethtool
              2 = mii-tool

but ethtool and mii-tool are low-level tools, not reliable. The
netlink interface should be used instead (like what Network Manager
does).
