Maybe 2-year-old Bullseye with experimental wicd-curses here. Updates are ALL current except for Linux kernel. It's on Developer hold. 1,000 other packages were, too, but they installed well so far. I just didn't feel like fighting with the kernel if it failed. Nope, I just installed all those files about 2 days ago. My version of this issue began somewhere in the week or more before that. :) In my case, I started having similar issues with wicd-curses. I THOUGHT it was due to occasionally having to hit the hardware button to shut down and then restart. I've experienced similar program disfunction with other packages in the past so I just took it all as being behavior that should be expected. Then about two days ago, it happened during a nice, safe, normal reboot. So far, it just takes ANOTHER reboot to become functional again. My Firefox-ESR sessions are massive right now so it's a pain to open to have to then immediately reboot, grin. I've finally figured out that testing IPv4's presence before opening anything else works the same as finding out after a large Firefox session has been brought up. Testing is done with a simple disconnect then attempt to reconnect. It will fail at that second if it's going to be a problem. Tried purging and reinstalling ALL associated packages. That didn't help. Tried altering the /etc/wicd/wired-settings.conf configuration file since it was different between several instances of Bullseye installs. Still no change. Which brings up that it's initially functional *in my case*. It remains functional until the first time it's disconnected during those times that it's going to fail. Yes, I've tried searching for a remedy. Nothing has clicked to date. The rest of Andrei's email was over my comprehension ability just now. Wouldn't even know where to start. Just wanted to chime in to say that a second person is suddenly experiencing some form of this same thing. PS The "ip a" command that came up here in last couple days was perfectly timed. I'm able to see the IPv4 address appear and disappear when I connect and disconnect via wicd-curses. I'm a-suming that disappearing and reappearing in "ip a" output is IPv4's normal behavior...............
