Or maybe next weekend.  Apologies for the delay in getting more
information.

I can confirm that this does appear to be related to wicd, although I'm
not sure why.  I've been experiencing some oddities with getting the
wireless network to initialize properly on my laptop for a while and was
writing them off to my old base station, but not only does stopping wicd
solve the problem that I experienced here, it makes those other problems
go away as well (or at least significantly reduces them).

For some reason, concurrent boot exacerbates the problem.

My best hypothesis is that wicd is somehow grabbing the wireless device
and preventing dhclient from doing what it was supposed to do, but I'm not
sure.

I'm running the current versions of the relevant packages:

wicd 1.7.0+ds1-2
dhcp3 3.1.3-2

I don't have access to that system right at the moment and can't easily
provide the additional information you asked for, but I hopefully will be
able to get that to you in the next week.
