The underlying problem (for me at least) seems to be the Broadcom wl driver flaking out. wicd calls iwconfig to get signal strength, iwconfig calls into the driver, but gets an error rather than the stats it needs.
I've opened bug 364413 against the driver / linux-restricted-modules: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted- modules/+bug/364413 -- jaunty wicd wpa2 constant reconnect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/334445 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
