Package: wicd-daemon Version: 1.7.0+ds1-6 Severity: important
I'm able to use wicd with a WPA network at home. However, anywhere I go and try to use an unencrypted network, wicd fails to work. It sees the networks and attempts to connect, but eventually times out during DHCP negotiation. After many months of having this problem (and using iwconfig manually to work around it), I finally I decided to look into it. When the DHCP client is running (and yes I've tried several clients) I've noticed the interface does not have the ESSID set correctly. The log of one of my attempts is included below. Note the one log line with a Python list in it. Seems odd. In any case, I haven't been able to fully use wicd for a long time and I would love for it to function again. I'm happy to provide other details for debugging. Please advise.
