I've experienced a variety of problems following wicd-1.6.2.1, the most
consistent of which is an inability to remember, and therefore automatically
connect to, hidden networks.  1.6.2.1 successfully accomplishes this while
1.6.2.2 and 1.7* do not.  This applies to use with F11, F12, and F13.

I've seen the devs pin these problems on wireless cards, but their old version
works and the new ones don't, so this seems inaccurate.

I recommend 1.6.2.1 for repository. wicd's overwhelming strength is consistency
in that connections aren't dropped. networkmanager struggles with this,
especially when dealing with hidden networks.  Let's not make this feature
obsolete with newer, inferior releases.
