Package: wicd-daemon Version: 1.7.4+tb2-6 Severity: important I have the option "Automatically reconnect on network connection loss" ticked. But wicd does not automatically reconnect, whether the GUI is open or not.
To reproduce: 1. Connect to a wifi hotspot (e.g. provided by an Android device). 2. Optionally close the wicd GUI. 3. Disable the hotspot on the device. 4. Reenable the hotspot on the device. After (3), I get a disconnection, but after (4), no reconnection is done.

independently from the "Automatically reconnect on network connection loss" global setting. Thus make sure that this option "Automatically connect to this network" for the tested network is off when doing the test. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-5-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=POSIX (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages wicd-daemon depends on: ii adduser 3.118 ii dbus 1.12.16-1 ii debconf 1.5.72 ii iputils-ping 3:20190515-2 ii isc-dhcp-client 4.4.1-2 ii lsb-base 10.2019051400 ii psmisc 23.2-1 ii python 2.7.16-1 ii python-dbus 1.2.8-3 ii python-gobject-2 2.28.6-13+b1 ii python-wicd 1.7.4+tb2-6 ii wireless-tools 30~pre9-13 ii wpasupplicant 2:2.8-3 Versions of packages wicd-daemon recommends: ii rfkill 2.33.1-0.1 ii wicd-curses [wicd-client] 1.7.4+tb2-6 ii wicd-gtk [wicd-client] 1.7.4+tb2-6 Versions of packages wicd-daemon suggests: pn pm-utils <none> Versions of packages wicd depends on: ii wicd-curses [wicd-client] 1.7.4+tb2-6 ii wicd-gtk [wicd-client] 1.7.4+tb2-6 Versions of packages wicd-gtk depends on: ii python 2.7.16-1 ii python-glade2 2.24.0-6 ii python-gtk2 2.24.0-6 Versions of packages wicd-gtk recommends: ii menu 2.1.47+b1 ii policykit-1 0.105-25 ii python-notify 0.1.1-4 Versions of packages wicd-curses depends on: ii python 2.7.16-1 ii python-urwid 2.0.1-2+b1 Versions of packages wicd-curses recommends: ii sudo 1.8.27-1 Versions of packages python-wicd depends on: ii net-tools 1.60+git20180626.aebd88e-1 ii python 2.7.16-1 Versions of packages python-wicd suggests: ii ethtool 1:4.19-1 ii iproute2 5.2.0-1 -- Configuration Files: /etc/wicd/encryption/templates/active changed: wpa wpa-peap wpa-peap-wo-domain wpa-psk wpa-psk-hex wpa2-leap wpa2-peap wpa2-peap-wo-domain wep-hex wep-passphrase wep-shared leap ttls eap peap peap-eduroam peap-tkip eap-tls psu -- debconf information: * wicd/users:
