Bug Description
Hello, I'm using wicd 1.6.2-2 on Ubuntu Hardy, but after the last update (which included wicd update) the automatic connection at startup is not functioning anymore, even if the checkbox "automatic connection" is selected.
The manual connection works well, and before the last update the automatic connection worked well.
I also looked at "/var/log/
here is my wicd .log :

Do you have automatically reconnect on connection loss checked in the preferences? If not, please enable it and try again.
