Comment 17 for bug 422675

I've tryed the fix you proposed and now the GUI interface doesn't feeze and
curses doesn't crash. But, due to Murphy's law, I still can't connecting to
the wireless because wicd tryes to get an IP by DHCP insted of use the
configured static IP address.

I guess I have to report another bug.... or could it be related in some
way??

Thanks !
