Bug Description

Hello,
a Debian user reported a wishlist bug, I'm forwarding it:

From: "Eugene V. Lyubimkin" <email address hidden>
To: Debian Bug Tracking System <email address hidden>
Subject: wicd: please add button to manual up/down wireless interface(s)
Date: Thu, 25 Dec 2008 10:18:58 +0200

Package: wicd
Version: 1.5.7-1
Severity: wishlist

Wicd server at start automatically brings up wireless interface,
which is fair. However, there are moments when I don't want to have
wireless inteface(s) up, e.g. my laptop is on batteries and I am not using
wireless connections right now, so it will be good to save batteries'
charge as long as possible.

Currently wicd client doesn't have button to up/down wireless inteface,
it would be good to have one.
