distro: ubuntu 9.04
hardware: asus eee 901
driver: rt2860sta
wicd: 1.5.9

When connection to an AP wicd sends this command sequence:
2009/09/27 20:56:16 :: Putting interface up...
2009/09/27 20:56:16 :: ifconfig ra0 up
2009/09/27 20:56:16 :: iwconfig ra0 mode Managed
2009/09/27 20:56:16 :: ['iwconfig', 'ra0', 'essid', 'kastrupBG', 'channel', 
'7', 'ap', '00:20:A6:56:58:5F']
2009/09/27 20:56:16 :: Running DHCP
2009/09/27 20:56:16 :: /sbin/dhclient ra0

Apparently the command iwconfig ra0 mode Managed fails making all
subsequent commands to the driver fail. This means the connection cannot
be made. On the other hand skipping iwconfig ra0 mode Managed and going
directly to ['iwconfig', 'ra0', 'essid', 'kastrupBG', 'channel', '7',
'ap', '00:20:A6:56:58:5F'] has the expected result, a connection is
established.
