Nils,
See my coments below
You can add the line
deb http://apt.wicd.net hardy extras *** understand this***
to your sources.list file. You need root privilege to edit that file and
you could do it with the command
kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list
from a terminal or from Alt-F2. Then add the key as described on the
page you mentioned. After that you can install wicd from your favourite
package manager. ***Dont understand this***
as how to enter which key?
