[pkg-wicd-maint] Bug#943933: wicd: After update/upgrade a new type of window appeared in my system tray concerning my wifi connections. Although, my ifi worked ok, the new gui did not appear the names of wifi networks. After some searching I found out that the names of my devices (wifi and ethernet) changed. I spend to much time searching for this. So I add the name under the wireless interface tab and got up again my wifi connections. Why the names changed? Please, "Show *mercy* to the (simple) users".

[K.D.]

Package: wicd
Version: 1.7.4+tb2-6
Severity: normal
