wireless - Wicd does not like to reconnect upon resuming in the same or different location

Ubuntu 13.10 - Samsung Series 9 - Wireless connection only

Issue: Wicd does not automatically re-connect after the laptop is suspended. This happens when the laptop is turned back on in the same room, or when I get back home and open it up. I have the "automatically connect to this network" on all of my preferred networks in each location. Additionally, when I resume in another location, the wireless network list does not refresh.

I have network manager and all of its parts uninstalled. Wicd is the only wireless connection software that I am running.

I have looked all over Ask Ubuntu, but none of the solutions (installing, purging, pillaging) have not solved this.
