Can you check the contents of /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.leases, /var/lib/wicd/dhclient.conf and /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf? Analyzing the output of run-parts at pre-up, I see that /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wireless-tools executes more-or-less the same set of "iwconfig" commands wicd does. "More-or-less" because it sets things based on environment variables, and the output of "set | grep ^IF" would be nice to have ;) (*hint*) The call to wpasupplicant is rather convoluted, I'll investigate that further ASAP.
