Bug Description
In the last week Wicd has ceased being able to connect to my wireless (802.11g) network. It had worked previously for over a year. It used to automatically connect on log in but now it doesn't. When I open the Wicd applet my chosen network is present and has the "Automatically connect to this network" checkbox selected for it.
When I select "Connect" for this network, it starts the process, gets to the "Disconnecting active connections..." step and remains there indefinitely, though the applet does not hang. I can quit the applet, re-open it and try again and the same occurs.
I've attempted switching off DHCP on to static IP addresses and changing the channel my network was on (as I noticed one of my inconsiderate neighbours decided to start their's up on the same channel in my attempts to get this working) with no luck.
I've attached the log file.
Version: 1.6.2.2
Distro: Ubuntu 8.04

I have the same problem on a Dell Inspiron 6000 running Ubuntu 9.10.
wicd doesn't connect automatically on startup, despite "automatically connect" being checked.
wicd stalls at "disconnecting active connections" when I click connect.
