Wicd turn off wifi when is unused

[Astarot]

Hi,
i have little trouble with wicd. When I`m not using network connection (for example watching movie or reading some docs) wicd switch off my wifi connection. When I run Firefox or whatever that needs connection to Internet, wicd automatically reconnects me to my wifi. Is there some option to force wicd to stay connected all the time ? This is very tricky, when you suddenly want to check something on web and you have to wait until wicd do his job.

is "preferences" - "general" - "automatic reconnection" set?
...but I think it is the default

HTH
