Bug#833929: wicd-daemon: takes time to reconnect / autoconnect after connection loss
Package: wicd-daemon
Version: 1.7.4+tb2-2
Severity: normal
After an automatic disconnection, wicd-daemon didn't try to reconnect
(there was nothing in the wicd logs, not even anything about the
disconnection). After more than 3 minutes, I closed the GUI, and wicd
immediately reconnected just after that. In the logs:
[...]

[...]
I don't think the problem was due to the fact that the GUI was open,
or there would be something in the logs as in the past (bug 582567,
now fixed).
I suppose that wicd didn't notice the disconnection fast enough, and
then I closed the GUI, it did a check or this was just a coincidence.
Anyway, more than 3 minutes is too long. I wonder how much it would
have taken if I didn't close the GUI...
Note: this is particularly important when one doesn't have a physical
access to the machine.
