Comment 22 for bug 421734

Yes, I read them, but I wasn't sure I fully grasped everything, which is why I asked for clarification.

After re-reading, it *still* appears that your main problem is that a changed essid is not noticed by wicd as having been changed. Assuming that's the case, I don't think the original bug report is the same thing you're experiencing.

Having personally experienced the bug with 1.6.2.1 not showing all essid's available (instead it was showing them as hidden, exactly like the original post in this bug report), AND the fact that simply upgrading to 1.6.2.2 did not change that (it required a manual edit or clearing out of wireless-settings.conf), AND the fact that none of our users have reported similar problems EXCEPT in the exact circumstances described previously in this sentence, I reached the conclusion that I wrote in post #20.

Maybe in post #17 you're saying that you already cleared out wireless-settings.conf, but if so, it's not terribly clear that such is the case, so I don't have any reason to believe that you're experiencing something different.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding something, or I'm overlooking something important (this won't be the first time I've done it, and it probably won't be the last either), but it's easy to forget bits and pieces while reading later posts in the thread. Perhaps a complete backup of all your wicd configs (including /etc/wicd and /var/lib/wicd) and then wiping them and starting over with a "we think this version is bug free - 1.6.2.2" installation from wicd.net instead of the ubuntu package would be a good idea.
