I've heard great things about wicd, but I never managed to get it work. NetworkManager worked out-of-the-box for me once I had the correct drivers (now in the kernels by default). I think wicd is nicer, but NetworkManager will work, and the nm-applet has not failed me to connect to any wireless networks that were either open or that I had the passwords for. The disadvantage of NM compared to wicd is it won't work without X. The advantage is it will take care of the conf.d/net ~daid
