Package: wicd-daemon Version: 1.7.4+tb2-2 Severity: normal After an automatic disconnection, wicd-daemon didn't try to reconnect (there was nothing in the wicd logs, not even anything about the disconnection). After more than 3 minutes, I closed the GUI, and wicd immediately reconnected just after that. In the logs:

I suppose that wicd didn't notice the disconnection fast enough, and then I closed the GUI, it did a check or this was just a coincidence. Anyway, more than 3 minutes is too long. I wonder how much it would have taken if I didn't close the GUI... Note: this is particularly important when one doesn't have a physical access to the machine. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.6.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages wicd-daemon depends on: ii adduser 3.115 ii dbus 1.10.8-1 ii debconf 1.5.59 ii ethtool 1:4.6-1 ii iproute2 4.6.0-2 ii iputils-ping 3:20150815-2 ii isc-dhcp-client 4.3.4-1 ii lsb-base 9.20160629 ii net-tools 1.60+git20150829.73cef8a-2 ii psmisc 22.21-2.1+b1 ii python-dbus 1.2.4-1 ii python-gobject 3.20.1-1 ii python-wicd 1.7.4+tb2-2 pn python:any <none> ii wireless-tools 30~pre9-11 ii wpasupplicant 2.5-2+v2.4-1 Versions of packages wicd-daemon recommends: ii rfkill 0.5-1 ii wicd-curses [wicd-client] 1.7.4+tb2-2 ii wicd-gtk [wicd-client] 1.7.4+tb2-2 Versions of packages wicd-daemon suggests: pn pm-utils <none> Versions of packages wicd depends on: ii wicd-curses [wicd-client] 1.7.4+tb2-2 ii wicd-gtk [wicd-client] 1.7.4+tb2-2 Versions of packages wicd-gtk depends on: ii python-glade2 2.24.0-5 ii python-gtk2 2.24.0-5 pn python:any <none> Versions of packages wicd-gtk recommends: ii gksu 2.0.2-9 ii python-notify 0.1.1-4 Versions of packages wicd-curses depends on: ii python-urwid 1.3.1-2+b1 pn python:any <none> Versions of packages wicd-curses recommends: ii sudo 1.8.17p1-2 Versions of packages python-wicd depends on: pn python:any <none> -- Configuration Files: /etc/wicd/encryption/templates/active changed: wpa wpa-peap wpa-psk wpa-psk-hex wpa2-leap wpa2-peap wep-hex wep-passphrase wep-shared leap ttls eap peap peap-eduroam peap-tkip eap-tls psu -- debconf information: * wicd/users:
