Comment 1 for bug 1543033

I think I am experiencing the same bug. My spec is:

Slackware 14.2 64bits
Wicd 1.7.4
Broadcom BCM43228 wifi chip

This happens for me on the majority of open/no encryption wifi networks. And I've experienced this over a number of years, over several versions of Slackware and wicd. For the first time yesterday I discovered that the only way to overcome this is to set a dummy fixed IP in wicd, and after it connects to run dhcpcd on the command line.

It would be really great if someone would take a closer look at this bug.
