Severity: important
When setting the ap for my wlan device I need to set it *twice* in order for
the essid to become visible. This renders wicd unusable since it only sets the
ap once and then fails to connect. Spamming manual iwconfig set ap commands in
between while wicd tries to connect fixes the problem.
