Ah! They set an IP that will get to the DHCP server. I assume that the AP will send out something on the Ethernet that makes some sense to the DHCP server.
Might be nice if the log said what the false IP was.

And that's when wicd deletes the routes. But if the table had been set up by wicd to use the eth0 interface, it would have been useless. I know this isn't correct because I switch back and forth between WiFi and Ethernet all the time. So wicd doesn't use the routing table?

Not verifying *what*? Its new IP? The routing table? Pinging the AP?

Looks like it may work on DHCP since it doesn't verify something...
