Ick! Panic as normal user as well when using the graphical "Wicd Manager" to Refresh (ie scan). Possibly it does its thing as root? First panic was as root on a fresh kernel without any graphics driver (plain terminal). Second try was as a normal user in said plain terminal - was OK. Logged out and in as root to scan -> panic. Installed graphics driver and ran as normal user under X. Wicd handles the wpa_supplicant etc. Scanning in an xterm as myself was OK. Later tried the Wicd Manager Refresh thing out of curiosity. Panic. /Mats
