Wicd pulling my wlan0 down when connecting to the network.

Pretty much that my wlan0 is pulled down while wicd is trying to get an ip address. It is conscistently at that time. Quickly here is my wireless card details from iwconfig

wlan0     IEEE 802.11bgn  ESSID:off/any  
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.452 GHz  Access Point: Not-Associated
          Tx-Power=0 dBm   
          Retry  long limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:off

and then the detail of my wifi chip from lshw.

           *-network
                description: Wireless interface
                product: RT5390 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe
                vendor: Ralink corp.
                physical id: 0
                bus info: pci@0000:02:00.0
                logical name: wlan0
                version: 00
                serial: 94:39:e5:73:f7:21
                width: 32 bits
                clock: 33MHz
                capabilities: pm msi pciexpress bus_master cap_list ethernet physical wireless
                configuration: broadcast=yes driver=rt2800pci driverversion=3.4.8-1-ARCH firmware=0.34 latency=0 link=no multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11bgn

So yeah... I can connect to the network if I pull the wlan0 up at about the same time as it would be pulled down, but that is just annoying.

Just as I posted this it stopped doing that So maybe it stops doing it after I connect to the network once I'll reboot and see.

And now it has stopped doing it wonderful. It did this before for several days before I wiped my drive and then it did it on the initial install this time arround weird. Anyway I think this issue is clossed.
