Package: wicd Version: 1.6.2.2-3 Severity: important When I suspend my laptop or unplug the Ethernet cable, wicd deconfigures the wired (eth0) interface, even though I wasn't connected via wicd. I don't know whether wicd does that directly or whether this is done by dhclient (the logs show that dhclient is started at this time, and it is started by wicd, because if I stop the wicd daemon, this no longer happens). In any case, wicd is the culprit, because starting dhclient when I suspend my laptop or unplug the Ethernet cable makes no sense!
This is an important problem, because at wake up or when I plug in the cable, the eth0 interface isn't reconfigured and my connection remains lost. Note: in manager-settings.conf, I have "wired_connect_mode = 1", in order not to connect automatically. I don't use wicd for eth0 because it is too limited: depending on the environment (remote router), I sometimes need a static IP address and sometimes need to use DHCP (this is possible with ifup + guessnet, but not with wicd). -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.31-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages wicd depends on: ii adduser 3.111 add and remove users and groups ii dbus 1.2.16-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.28 Debian configuration management sy ii dhcp3-client 3.1.3-1 DHCP client ii ethtool 6+20090323-3 display or change Ethernet device ii iproute 20090324-1 networking and traffic control too ii iputils-ping 3:20071127-2 Tools to test the reachability of ii lsb-base 3.2-23 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii net-tools 1.60-23 The NET-3 networking toolkit ii psmisc 22.8-1 utilities that use the proc file s ii python 2.5.4-2 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-dbus 0.83.0-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii python-glade2 2.16.0-1 GTK+ bindings: Glade support ii python-gtk2 2.16.0-1 Python bindings for the GTK+ widge ii python-support 1.0.4 automated rebuilding support for P ii python-urwid 0.9.8.4-1 curses-based UI/widget library for ii wireless-tools 29-2 Tools for manipulating Linux Wirel ii wpasupplicant 0.6.9-3 client support for WPA and WPA2 (I Versions of packages wicd recommends: ii gksu 2.0.2-2+b1 graphical frontend to su ii python-notify 0.1.1-2+b1 Python bindings for libnotify ii sudo 1.7.2p1-1 Provide limited super user privile Versions of packages wicd suggests: ii pm-utils 1.2.6.1-1 utilities and scripts for power ma -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
