Bug Description

Binary package hint: wicd

WICD 1.6.2.2-1 with the following wireless card: 06:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02)

The program finds and connects to the wireless network normally, but then after a few minutes (sometimes even right after system start up) it disconnects and says it cannot find ANY wireless networks - though there are several ones available (I can see with the other computer).
Also it's not a defect of the wireless card, as this one works flawlessly under windoze.

WICD 1.6.1 running under Ubuntu9.10 NBR from USB key on Asus EeePC900.
Network Controller: any (may be internal Atheros card or Linksys WiFI key WUSB54G)
Same problem after several clean installs.
Same problem with Ubuntu 9.04 remix.
Generally, it is however possible to connect to a network, after clicking "Disconnect All" to get a non grayed-list.
The message (in French on my system) says that WICD client is quitting, with some reference about Python.
