Comment 5 for bug 325418

After testing wicd I can say that I had no kernel panic with it. But the connection was also very unstable - after about 30minutes (varying from 5Minutes to about 2hours) I had to disconnect-connect.

Now I have switched back to network-manager and became very soon a kernel panic. Here is the log of /var/log/messages before the kernel-panic:
