Bug Description
I have a wireless network marked for connecting automatically, and in the preferences I have checked the option to switch to wired connection when available. When the computer is in range of the network and connected by the cable during boot-up, wicd first connects to the wireless network, then disconnects and only then connects using the wired connection. Instead it should first check if the wired is available and if it is, it shouldn't try connecting to the wireless.
(it actually does this, but it doesn't work, as it turns out after looking through the log)
The system is Gentoo Linux with kernel 2.6.32.

Wired networks cannot always be detected instantly when Wicd starts, and this can mean passing them by to a wireless network. A few seconds later the wired network shows as available and gets connected. See 533045 for more details.
