Thanks for that workaround. Anyway I want to vote for this request:

I often use two networks simultaniously, e.g.:

* Internet (WLAN) + new Router to configure (LAN)
* Fileserver on one Interface, Customers client (for security reasons) on the other
* ...

I think Wicd should not disconnect the current network if I connect to a new one. Maybe there could be a setting for users which want this behavour. I dont.

gnome-networkmanager made a big effort to support this. See: http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManagerToDo
If Wicd wants to be the better replacement we have to support this too.

Switching back to gnome-networkmanager - but trying Wicd at least once a month (and check for this feature).
