wicd connected but shows no network found

The Background:
Right after boot wicd-client starts as asked, shows my home wireless network (not hidden, no encryption) and connects automagically. Perfect.

Once the app minimized to tray and later remaximised, wicd-client scans for available networks but can't find any. Yet it still shows "connected to myessid" + my local IP and the wifi works just fine.

The Problem:
If I want to reconnect the machine to my network, I have to restart /etc/rc.d/wicd because wicd-client is unable to find my network.

The Facts:
The wifi card is an Atheros AR5008 that works out-of-the-box, the switch is on.
There is only my router around.
Wicd-client is untouched, no changes in the configuration have been done.
The problem have been the same for some times and went through several updates without being solved.

iwlist scan:

lo        Interface doesn't support scanning.

eth0      Interface doesn't support scanning.

wlan0     Failed to read scan data : Resource temporarily unavailable

the intresting lines in rc.conf:

MODULES=(!pcspkr !snd_pcsp)

# NETWORKING
HOSTNAME="joshua"
eth0="dhcp"
wlan0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(!eth0 !wlan0)
gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(!gateway)

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng hal !network @wicd @rpcbind @netfs @crond @avahi-daemon @pulseaudio)

Show me the light \:|/
