Name        : wicd
Product     : Fedora 17
Version     : 1.7.2.1
Release     : 5.fc17
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:

Two major problems addressed with this update:

* wicd should work with the latest python-urwid.  This really only affected wicd-curses client users, but still, it's a valid problem.

* The sanitize_config() has been backported as it was missing from the wicd/misc.py source file in the 1.7.2.1 release.  Should clean up the 'no attribute sanitize_config' tracebacks.

Please test this release
