It bills itself as "an open source wired and wireless network manager for Linux which aims to provide a simple interface to connect to networks with a wide variety of settings", and allows you to do pretty much the same as Network Manager. However, if you want a wicd applet, you'll have to set '/opt/wicd/tray.py' to run at startup. To install, you first need to remove network manager by opening a terminal (Accessories > Terminal) and running 'sudo apt-get remove network-manager network-manager-applet'. When this is done, run the command 'sudo apt-get install wicd'.

I tried to uninstall Network manager, and installed WICD, it wouldnt connect, had problems with authentication. Now I cannot connect to the internet at all. It just wont connect. How can I get my internet connection back, to my netbook, now I dont have internet.
