On a Wheezy VM I've been running (to do testing on the mumble package), originally wicd was installed by default, but on an upgrade task-xfce-desktop pulled in network-manager (via a Recommends on network-manager-gnome I believe), leading to both running. Certainly not the desired behavior, but surprisingly it actually worked for standard "wired" networking via dhcp.

Yeah, as long as you know the command you need already; whether or not that's obvious is certainly debatable. -- Chris -- Chris Knadle chris.kna...@coredump.us -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
