Package: wicd
Version: 1.5.9-4
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Wicd doesn't go in misc.NOT_CONNECT status also if there isn't a
wireless connection and if there isn't a wired connection.
The problem is in GetIP function in wnettools.py at line 525.
def GetIP(self):
if not self.iface: return False
But method ConnectionStatus.check_for_wireless_connection in monitor.py
at line 97 checks for a None value. This condition is always False if
wireless_ip is False and so check_for_wireless_connection returns always
True.
A patch is attached.
