Public bug reported: Binary package hint: wicd
I prefer wicd over network-manager mainly because I use dwm and not gnome etc... Network-manager seem to only have an applet program to control the network connections, which don't work so well in dwm. I did a complete reinstall of Lucid (not upgrade), I installed wicd, wicd-daemon etc... and removed all network-manager and also purged the network-manager packages. After doing this I no longer seemed to have a wireless device in the computer. My computer is an Asus Eee 1000H. I could not find the device with ifconfig and no wireless networks where found (obviously). I then installed network-manager again and it found the device and networks. I then just removed network-manager but didn't purge it. And now wicd can find the wireless device. My point is that wicd should be self-sufficient. It should not relay on that you have uninstalled network-manager but not purged it...
