Wicd wired connection problem

Wicd works great for my wireless connections, but it falls on its face with /wired/ ethernet.

bringing up the wicd gui from the tray, I toggle off static ip / dns, and click connect.

It spins forever with the status bar message of "Wired Network: Putting interface down..."

Not really sure whats going on, and it's hard to get debug info from the gui.

Any clues?

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=51778 --> my post might have the solution for you. Use the network daemon and delete eth0 from wired interface in your wicd preferences.
