Problems with wicd

"I had unhidden my SSID about 2 weeks ago (so I could use wicd easier). Worked fine until the update last night. After a reboot, the SSID showed up as hidden again..... Hmm. I found a couple of wicd's conf files and the SSID was listed as hidden there. I manually replaced with my SSID but to no avail (didn't think it would work anyway). So I powered down the laptop, and double checked my wireless router to make sure I'm broadcasting SSID and forced a reboot. Rebooted the laptop, and so far so good."
