Bug Description

wicd currently requires the DHCP(v4) client to succeed and disconnects otherwise even if a working IPv6 connection was achieved.

There should be an option to allow IPv6-only networks.

I think that instead of reconnecting if the network is IPv6 only, it could show a message box (with a Don't Show Again option) that will notify the user of this problem.
