Bug 357593 – net-misc/wicd 1.7.0 can not re-connect to network .

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description water 2011-03-06 03:43:36 UTC]

I use wicd 1.7.0 .
When I stop wireless connection and reconnect it , the wicd is dead and hard disk runs hardly (At that time I even can not move mouse)
Then I input free command , after several minutes it gives me result: about 2G of SWAP is used .
When I reboot machine , wicd can connect the wireless successfully .
Every time I change setting of wicd or reconnect it , the problem appears.
I update 1.7.0 to 1.7.0-r1 , the problem still exists. 

Thanks

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. I stop connection and re-connect to network .
2.
3.

Hi, thank you for your report.
Which wicd-interface are you using to connect and disconnect? 
The gtk one? or wicd-curses?
Can you confirm, e.g. using "top" instead of "free" that wicd is using all the memory?

Thanks.
