Cleanly restart wicd so it reconnects

[misha680]

Dear all:

I seem to be having "disconnects" from my wireless network where I stay connected but am unable to ping any hosts,
including my router.

I would like to make a simple cron script that checks for this and reconnects.

Is there a clean way to tell wicd to reconnect?

How about sudo /etc/init.d/wicd restart?

I am on Ubuntu 8.04 amd64

misha@misha-d630:~$ dpkg -l | grep wicd
ii wicd 1.6.2.2-1 wired and wireless network manager
misha@misha-d630:~$

Any help appreciated

Thank you!

Misha

Have a look at the wireless disconnecting link in my sig. It worked for me.
