Same thing with wireless. If I go from home to a coffee shop wicd insists that I'm still connected to the home AP. Have to manually disconnect and reconnect.
I think this used to all work, but I can't remember how far back. A few months maybe.
Is this a wicd bug?
The ethernet chipset in one laptop is an Atheros AR8152. The other has a Realtek RTL8111/8168B.
For wireless one uses a Realtek RTL8191SE and the other an Intel 5300.
I tried Network Manager on one laptop and it switches networks and reconnects properly, but has other deficiencies so I'd rather not use it.
