Package: wicd-cli
Version: 1.7.4+tb2-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I configured wicd to use two wired network configurations.

The configuration "wired-default" is set as default and uses dhcp
whilste the other configuration uses statich values for IP
address, dns servers and the like.

With this settings I can switch these configurations via wicd-curses.

But I want to script my network usage.

wicd-cli -z -l

shows two networks with ids "0" and "1"

but regardless of the value of X

wicd-cli -z -n X -c

unconditionally connects to the default configuration.  It does
not even check if X is a valid id.  So

wicd-cli -z -n 5 -c

happily connects via the default settings (using dhcp in my
case).


I would expect to be able to switch wired network settings via
wicd-cli. 



This is my /etc/wicd/wired-settings.conf:

[wired-default]
default = 1
profilename = wired-default
lastused = False

[wired-m89-static]
default = 0
profilename = wired-m89-static
ip = 192.168.1.22
netmask = 255.255.255.0
broadcast = 192.168.1.255
gateway = 192.168.1.1
use_static_dns = True
use_global_dns = False
dns1 = 127.0.0.1
dns2 = 192.168.1.1
dns3 = 8.8.8.8
lastused = True


Thanks for your attention, Gregor
