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...
