BT5 Wicd Problem

[TommyV]

Hi i have a problem whilst trying to connect to a network through Wicd in backtrack 5, the problem is that when i try to connect to network 1 at home it keeps just connecting to network 2 (these are both my networks), i even tried connecting to network 2 then disconnecting and then reconnecting to network 1 but it just keeps connecting to network 2 no matter what network i actually click to "connect" to.
It is not on automatically connect and i even switched the network off but it still insisted on trying to connect to network 2 even though it couldnt.
Please help this is really annoying i have already looked for a solution to this problem and someone else has asked it a while back on bt4 and they never got a solution.
Thanks in advance and for your time, Tom

What does /var/log/wicd/wicd.log say about all of this?

Edit:

you could also try purging wicd and reinstalling?
sudo apt-get remove --purge wicd
sudo apt-get install wicd

but i'm not sure how recommended this is...

Power off network2 then connect to network1 If that doesn't work, something magical is happening....

Are you referring to wicd saying "connecting to network 2 ..." or whatever? Check to see what network it really connected to when it's finished. There seems to be a bug where it says it's connecting to a network you've used in the past even though it's really associating with the one you selected.

Have you tried looking at the preferences bar on the wicd gui? Maby one of your interfaces is not configured correctly.
