Hmm!! It did work with 1.6.x. That is why I asked to keep a copy of that deb.

This does not seem to be fixing the problem.

It gave me the very same error code.
I also discovered some more problems. I populated the an ESSID with pre/post
script details. Later, I removed the Pre-XX setting. But on re-looking at the
window I could see the same value back. The setting wasn't being removed at
all. I had to go and edit the setting in the /etc/wicd/wireless-settings.conf
file ultimately.
Haven't tried it again as wicd is a "critical" package for me that provides me
the network service. Just want to get my network working. :-(
Perhaps we should have a more conservative policy for such core packages.
