The reason why I switched to wicd was the fact that Network Manager
wouldn't (at that time) support static IP's on the wireless connections.
I'll have to test to see if it's fixed.

@Michael: we're talking about wicd, which is an alternate to the default
Ubuntu network manager. You can find more information regarding this here:

http://wicd.sourceforge.net/
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WICD

These are also worth a read... it's from the server guide & will give
you information on how to configure from the command line in the event
you wish to bypass the Network Manager gui(s). The same commands apply
to the desktop.
