Package: wicd Version: 1.5.9-4 Followup-For: Bug #503738
If on the startup of the daemon there is no wire plugged, then wicd does not seem to take any action on wired connections or disconnections. This is because, at startup, ConnectionWizard.AutoConnect is executed. If there is a wire plugged, an ip address will be configured for ethX, so in ConnectionStatus.check_for_wired_connection at monitor.py:76 wired_ip will not be None and everything will be ok. But if at start-up there is no wire plugged, then no ip will be configured for the device. So in ConnectionStatus.check_for_wired_connection at monitor.py:76 wired_ip will always be None, causing nothing to be done even if CheckPluggedIn is True. My solution is to add two DBus signals, one for the plug-in event and one for the unplug event. If CheckPluggedIn is True, the wired_ip is not configured, and the plugged status variable is False, wicd will send a WirePlugged signal. If CheckPluggedIn is False and the plugged status is True, wicd will send a WireUnplugged signal. A client application could catch these signals and call org.wicd.daemon.ConnectWired dbus method. A patch is attached. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.28.7 (SMP w/1 CPU core; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages wicd depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii dhcp3-client 3.1.1-6 DHCP client ii iproute 20090115-1 networking and traffic control too ii net-tools 1.60-22 The NET-3 networking toolkit ii python 2.5.4-2 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-dbus 0.83.0-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii python-glade2 2.14.1-1 GTK+ bindings: Glade support ii python-gtk2 2.14.1-1 Python bindings for the GTK+ widge ii python-support 0.8.7 automated rebuilding support for P ii wireless-tools 29-1.1 Tools for manipulating Linux Wirel ii wpasupplicant 0.6.4-3 Client support for WPA and WPA2 (I wicd recommends no packages.
