wicd reports that it is trying to the previous wifi access point, not the current one

[Robert Persson]

Binary package hint: wicd

When I select a wireless access point to connect to in the wicd GUI, it reports that it is connecting to the previous access point I was connected to rather than the one I am trying to connect to now.

Example:
Last time I connected to the router bbox2-4f0c. This time I try to connect to Mobistar-F6A4. The message I get at the bottom of the GUI while it is connecting will be:

"bbox2-4f0c: Trying to get IP address."

It should of course be:

"Mobistar-F6A4: Trying to get IP address."
