Subject: [Bug 129608] Re: Unable to connect to ad-hoc network

Wicd is disconnecting you because you have no signal strength (0 link
quality and 0 signal level in iwconfig), which it interprets to mean
your connection is lost. Are you actually able to use the connection
once you make it?

Bug description:
Running on Feisty.

I am unable to connect to a ad-hoc network as Wicd appears to set the interface up in managed mode, even though it recognised that the network is ad-hoc.

This causes the whole application to get stuck in the connecting stage, the only solution is to quit the gui and stop/start the deamon.
