Package: wicd Version: 1.7.2.4-2 Followup-For: Bug #671838
I changed wired interface to dummy "eth0" in wicd preferences (it shouldn't be needed, because I don't have wired interface turned on at all in this computer). Now wicd knows that connection is wireless (wlan0) and shows connection strength. Still automatic connection setup during boot fails. Here is a new log starting from system reboot.
