Cannot create an Ad-Hoc network in 1.6.1

[Andrew Psaltis]

Attempting to create an ad-hoc network, using the default settings used by both wicd-curses and wicd-client results in an exception, the traceback of which is as follows:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I am running slackware-current, using rworkman's wicd-1.6.1-i486-2_rlw.txz package.
