First we suggest you get rid of WICD and reinstall network manager. Even in normal use WICD drops internet connections and doesnot work very well. Furthermore we are not sure pwnstar9.0 will run on wicd. We would have to go thru the lines of code but there are specific commands running network-manager in the pwnstar9 script file, an example of one is seen below:
We have covered the problem of Pwnstar9.0 on kali-linux when network-manager is installed in both our help files in our downloads and comments in this thread. The problem you mentioned can be solved easily thru the network manager icon on the upper right-hand corner of the screen.
When you setup your rogueAP you do not want network-manager trying to use the wifi device supporting the rogue. If it is actively trying to connect or connected to an AP thru that device, this then blocks a client from connecting to the rogue.
Click on the network manager > Edit Connection > Wireless > Go to each AP name listed > edit > uncheck Connect automatically on all the Connection names you have listed for the wireless device you are using with the rogue AP.
If network manager tries to connect to an access point using the rogue wireless device, click on the Disconnect line on the main drop down menu and network-manager will stop trying to associate and leave the device free for use by pwnstar9.0 other devices do not apply here. You just want the device supporting the rogue to be free.
If you are using two(2) wifi devices one(1) to provide internet access and one(1) to support the rogueAP just make, sure that network-manager doesnot try and use the wifi device supporting the rogueAP. If network manager tries to associate to an AP thru the rogues' device, just disconnect it manually thru the main menu as mentioned above and network-manager will not try and use that device again.
When pwnstar9.0 sets up a rogueAP sometimes it runs the following command
service network-manager restart
When it does this, network-manager will restart and ?MAY? try and use the wifi-device supporting the rogue. Again just manually disconnect this operation thru the main drop down network-manager icon and network-manager will not try and reestablish a connection thru that device again.
There is a list of other problems outlined in this thread that are not the fault of the pwnstar9.0 program. You should read this thread. Just back thru the pages here till you find it.
