Wicd and ad-hock network creation

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to create a ad-hoc wireless network.  I get to go to the box where I type in a name for the network, use the default ip, use channel 3 (default) and leave the rest alone.  When i click connect nothing happens, but the terminal output is as follows:

[sagui@tslaptop ~]$ wicd-client
Has notifications support True
Loading...
Connecting to daemon...
Connected.
Done loading.

seems like it's something with the actual program, any ideas?  Let me know if and what other kind of info you need!
