Package: wicd Version: 1.7.0+ds1-6 Severity: normal wicd takes time to run the postconnect scripts and report the IP address. I've had the problem with two different access points today.
The wicd.log file contains: 2011/02/22 22:47:49 :: Connecting to wireless network Etoile 1 2011/02/22 22:47:49 :: attempting to set hostname with dhclient 2011/02/22 22:47:49 :: using dhcpcd or another supported client may work better 2011/02/22 22:47:49 :: attempting to set hostname with dhclient 2011/02/22 22:47:49 :: using dhcpcd or another supported client may work better 2011/02/22 22:47:50 :: Putting interface down 2011/02/22 22:47:50 :: Releasing DHCP leases... 2011/02/22 22:47:50 :: attempting to set hostname with dhclient 2011/02/22 22:47:50 :: using dhcpcd or another supported client may work better 2011/02/22 22:47:50 :: Setting false IP... 2011/02/22 22:47:50 :: Stopping wpa_supplicant 2011/02/22 22:47:50 :: Flushing the routing table... 2011/02/22 22:47:50 :: Putting interface up... 2011/02/22 22:47:52 :: Attempting to authenticate... 2011/02/22 22:47:53 :: Running DHCP with hostname xvii 2011/02/22 22:47:53 :: attempting to set hostname with dhclient 2011/02/22 22:47:53 :: using dhcpcd or another supported client may work better 2011/02/22 22:47:53 :: Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client 4.1.1-P1 2011/02/22 22:47:53 :: Copyright 2004-2010 Internet Systems Consortium. 2011/02/22 22:47:53 :: All rights reserved. 2011/02/22 22:47:53 :: For info, please visit https://www.isc.org/software/dhcp/ 2011/02/22 22:47:53 :: 2011/02/22 22:47:53 :: Listening on LPF/wlan0/00:21:6a:47:b3:80 2011/02/22 22:47:53 :: Sending on LPF/wlan0/00:21:6a:47:b3:80 2011/02/22 22:47:53 :: Sending on Socket/fallback 2011/02/22 22:47:55 :: DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7 2011/02/22 22:47:57 :: DHCPOFFER from 192.168.1.1 2011/02/22 22:47:57 :: DHCPREQUEST on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 2011/02/22 22:47:57 :: DHCPACK from 192.168.1.1 2011/02/22 22:47:57 :: bound to 192.168.1.24 -- renewal in 39668 seconds. 2011/02/22 22:47:57 :: DHCP connection successful 2011/02/22 22:47:57 :: not verifying 2011/02/22 22:51:09 :: Connecting thread exiting. 2011/02/22 22:51:09 :: Sending connection attempt result Success See the problem between 22:47:57 and 22:51:09.
