Name        : wicd
Product     : Fedora 15
Version     : 1.7.0
Release     : 13.fc15
URL         : http://wicd.sourceforge.net/
Summary     : Wireless and wired network connection manager
Description :
Wicd is designed to give the user as much control over behavior of network
connections as possible.  Every network, both wired and wireless, has its
own profile with its own configuration options and connection behavior.
Wicd will try to automatically connect only to networks the user specifies
it should try, with a preference first to a wired network, then to wireless.

This package provides the architecture-dependent components of wicd.

Update Information:

This update fixes a traceback that may show up when using wicd on Fedora 15 systems.  It would look like:

guiutil.py:147:set_text:TypeError: Gtk.Entry.set_text() argument 1 must be string, not dbus.Boolean

The problem is not present in Fedora 16 and later releases.
