Since yesterday I cannot use wicd any more to get a wireless connection (wired
still works fine). I think this has to do with a dbus update, but I'm not sure.
I have done several restarts, re-emerged all relevant packages (dbus,
dbus-python,
wicd) but still it stops shortly after clicking the connect button in the GUI
window, saying "Disconnecting active connections..." in the status bar (even
though
no connections were active).
If I start wicd-gtk from the command line I sometimes get the errors below, but
often it just "hangs". wicd-curses always fails reliably with the output below.
Does that ring a bell with someone?
Cheers,
Peter.

DBus failure! This is most likely caused by the wicd daemon stopping while
wicd-curses is running. Please restart the daemon, and then restart wicd-curses.
