Doesn't reconnect to wired network and shows incorrectly that it did

[Martin Dluhos]

I had a working ethernet connection and when I disconnected wicd correctly showed 'Not connected'. When plugged in my ethernet cord again, wicd showed 'Connected to wired network (IP: 192.168.0.201)' even though it actually did not reestablish the connection.

More importantly wicd never reestablished the wired connection.

distro: Arch Linux 3.6.11
wicd version: 1.7.2.4-5

This is what was printed in the log after I reconnected:

Unfortunately, the log you provided isn't sufficient.

Please provide the log taken this way:

1) let wicd connect to the wired network
2) mark in the log the time it finished connecting (it should have a series of "ifconfig eth0", or similar, each ~3s)
3) unplug the cable (and mark it in the log)
4) re-plug the cable (and mark it)
5) wait maximum 10 seconds

Then, attach the log taken this way to this report. When I say "mark in the log", I mean: add a clearly visible line, so that I understand what you did in that moment (something like: "======= PLUGGED CABLE ========"). Unfortunately, I don't have a wired network to test this behaviour at the moment, so I need your help to debug this.

Kindly,
David

I followed the steps and I am attaching the log. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need more info.

Thanks,
Martin
