Control: severity -1 important
Hi Steve,
sorry, botched the severity you've set with my merging the other day.

That may be optional. In wicd-curses, go to "P" for "Preferences",
then 2x "→" to "Advanced Settings", then uncheck "Ping static gateways
after connecting to verify association". (I though fear that this
setting only affects statically configured network connections. Not
sure, though.)
OTOH, in a pure IPv6 setting, this should probably cause to ping the
IPv6 gateway, too. (I though consider that optional for now, so if
someone comes up with a patch without pinging the IPv6 gateway, I'd be
fine.)
