I've never heard of > wicd doing anything wrong, [cut] That's because probably you haven't needed to use wicd for something more specific than "configure wlan0" :) I used wicd for several years, and I had always to swear against the gods of three or four religions to have it do what I wanted. The hardest thing was to convince wicd that I wanted a *specific* wi-fi connection among the several available: it kept choosing what it preferred, probably on the basis of "signal strength", and kept disconnecting and reconecting every time somebody entered the room or moved a chair. I had to manually disable the connections I didn't want to use, then manually re-enable them. I guess they eventually fixed that introducing priorities, but still, IMHO a software should do what I tell it to do, not what it likes or wishes... Anyway, it's mainly a matter of preference here, and luckily we have enough alternatives so far :) HND KatolaZ -- [ ~.,_ Enzo Nicosia aka KatolaZ - Devuan -- Freaknet Medialab ] [ "+. katolaz [at] freaknet.org --- katolaz [at] yahoo.it ] [ @) http://kalos.mine.nu --- Devuan GNU + Linux User ] [ @@) http://maths.qmul.ac.uk/~vnicosia -- GPG: 0B5F062F ] [ (@@@) Twitter: @KatolaZ - skype: katolaz -- github: KatolaZ ]
